Latest editorial illustration published

Always like seeing my editorial illustrations published! These were for Child magazine's. They have one in Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Canberra. These were a lot of fun, they were made using clay, hand painted, then photographed. I deep etched (cut out) in Photoshop and the background shapes and drop shadows were done on the computer too. I am glad I have both traditional and digital skills.

Editorial illustration published! :)

I illustrated this piece for an article entitled 'Vegetarianism For Beginners'. I was asked to use my clay technique again. I have shown my original rough, was going to use a cow on the front  but they preferred fruit and vegies. Still looks pretty effective I think. I would really like to do a short Photography course so that i can learn how to photograph my artwork professionally.

Books Alive competition

Books Alive cover competition. I don't enter many competitions, but i thought why not give this one a go! I decided to create the letters out of the clay technique i have used which has proven popular in the past. I once won a Subiaco Craft Fair poster competition using this technique. I also have been asked to do a couple of editorial illustrations using clay which has been fun :) I didn't win the competition, but I thought I would put it up anyway.

Celebrate - Illustration Friday topic.

Thought I would play around with some clay again :) also bought some coloured foam, corrugated card and other materials the other day. This little green friendly monster was just an offcut shape that occurred by chance, I quite liked it so thought I would include him in my celebration piece.

Note the red cover is not mine I just put it up to show which magazine issue my illo was published in.
