Elle Girl Korea x Chrissy Lau

Hello! I hope you're all well. Here are my Christmas Elves featured in Elle Girl Korea's December Issue. Not only is it a pleasure to illustrate for such a great magazine I am also featured along side the lovely Amanda Thomas of Here Comes The Sun (it's Amanda's 3rd Wedding Anniversary today - congratulations!!) and on the opposite page is talented Artist Caitlin Shearer!

I was always an avid reader of Elle Girl UK when I lived in England and I have to say to say Elle Girl Korea is a great read - when I say read, it's full of lots of pretty photos and inspiration. Wishing right now that I could read Korean. Today I wrapped up a 13 illustration project...it feels good to be compressing the file and sending the final versions to the client! I've literally been working on 3 projects the past couple of months and juggling a full time job so that's why I haven't been blogging very often. If you want to catch me on a more regular basis join me on Instagram - username: deciphertheday - I'm pretty much addicted to posting photos on there every single day (like below), purely because it's more visual and I don't have to think of something witty to say. This is my new teapot that Darren bought me. There's another little cup inside of this one. SO cute.

Kuwaii

Cosmic Poetry SS 11-12 - Illustrations for Pocketto Magazine x Melbourne fashion label Kuwaii. I love their simple & beautiful dresses so I was conscious of representing that in the illustrations. It's a combination of outlines and super detailing in the hair & legs with a few little birdies.

Hanging in the Balance

Here's a little sneak peek of an illustration I've been working on tonight. I still have a lot of the patterning to complete and also her long flowy dress. Come back soon to see the finished piece :-)

Where the bloody hell are ya?*

*from that Aussie Tourism Ad that was banned in England. Well I have been blummin' busy the past few weeks. I've had some awesome commissions to work on that I am still in the process of finalising. The first is a commission for the City of Sydney - this is the biggest commission I have ever worked on in terms of scale. I have illustrated a dragon and patterning that will be used across bus shelters and flag banners for the Chinese New Year celebrations in 2012. I am SUPER excited!

It's also coming to the close of 2011 - so I am busy working on a series of horoscopes for a magazine in Australia plus another Sunday Magazine that would like their star signs illustrated. So above are a couple of sneak peeks that I've been working on. In total there will be about 20 illustrations I will have completed in the space of 4 weeks - how crazy does that sound?! Well I hope you're all doing well and apologies I've been away for so long, or maybe no one has noticed? For daily updates join me on Instagram - username: deciphertheday
