Simon Vaeth

Jule Hjerter time! Making some christmas decorations with my cousin (post some pics soon). 

While searching for some templates this morning I came across this artist, Simon Vaeth and absolutely fell in love with his illustrations. 

His blog and website. 

Christmas

My friends and family always give me cards for Christmas so I thought I'd make some for them.  

It was also a great opportunity to work with Illustrator. Took a long, long time, but I learned so much.

 The card in print didn't come out as I wanted. It seemed a bit plain, so I painted a border. It didn't help. Anyways, it wasn't too bad so I sent it anyways.

Hopefully they will be happy with it.

Being inspired by Pinterest, I thought of decorating a jar and making it a candy jar for someone. 

First stages:

 

Old work

Used a photograph and played around with textures and shapes. 

 It was all done in Photoshop. 

This was another personal piece for World Mental Health day (10 October). 

 Again, playing with textures using Photoshop.

Inspired by Londoners

Assembled by Picmonkey

Images for prints

These are some images I created in Sept/Oct in my sketchbook.  I scanned them in because I thought they would be fun to play with on Photoshop. Really liked them, so I wanted to see how they would look like on print.

Inspired by Londoners and fashion.
A few adjustments here and there is required. Its slightly dirty and pixilated. 

Prints and fun

Thank you moo.com

First of the prints. It looks good on photo although the colours were not the ones I expected- which was due to my old mac and its calibration.  

Begining another art blog

Marie, Mary and Maria refers to the various ways my name has been pronounced throughout my life.

My background is animation. However, I am drawn to the delicacy and expressiveness of fashion illustration and I love the thrill of experimenting with different art techniques. I like to make pieces that make people think or smile.
