Sadly over these past few months has been a time of change for me at my place of work, a fair few lovely team members are moving onto new adventures. And of course it wouldn't be right if I didn't send them off with some DA artwork. :) First we have this good luck card featuring characters from Persona 5: This particular card was very special for me as it was for a dear work colleague of mine; who I'd been working with for over 4 years! Using the awesome combination of copic sketch markers and fine liners I was able to create this Persona 5 inspired card, I even tried to capture the game's unique font and style: My other farewell artwork pieces featured Dumbo and Mickey Mouse (hand drawn).  Both were Disney favourites of two other lovely people I had the pleasure of working with: Dumbo and Fantasia Mickey. 

In continuation from my last post, my newest piece of work involved another Disney princess - Cinderella. This particular piece was created for a very special young lady celebrating her 21st birthday which is today - 25th July 2017 (the same date as this entry post). It holds a special place in my heart, because 14 years ago I drew and created a Cinderella inspired piece for the same person. I was truly touched to know that she still holds that first drawing, and I was delighted to be able to re-create a more up to date version of Cinderella for her. 2017 Cinderella VS. 2003 Cinderella Plus getting to compare both pieces side by side, allows me to really appreciate how much I have improved and progressed - its so humbling.
