Four Weddings IV: Bon voyage, Tom and Sarah

Finally, I just picked these up from the printers for my friend Tom and his fiancee Sarah - they're getting married in Italy and were keen on having bespoke invites folded into a paper boat shape, similar to some they found online. I offered to fold them too, only to find it mega stressful - free tip: don't try and fold nice paper and eat a peanut butter brownie at the same time.

Four Weddings III: A toast to Heidi and Ben

Next year, my friend Heidi is marrying her corazón de melón, Ben, in Puerto Rico. They are both lots of fun, and they commissioned me to do a really fun illustration for a save the date magnet. I'm planning on going and also on drinking a pina colada as big as this one. They have a terrific dog called Monster (also pictured) who is an absolute terror, and boss.

Side note: their initial idea was a Game of Thrones themed illustration of them as Daenerys and Khal Drogo, but that might work better as a massive oil painting above their fireplace.

Four Weddings II: Congratulations Mel and Holly

My friend Niki commissioned me again to do another gift illustration for a friends wedding. This time, their interests included karaoke and their cats. In hindsight I realised this would have been a perfect opportunity to draw some cats doing karaoke and get paid to do it! Totally missed the boat there.

Four Weddings I: Party on, Alayna and Rich

I've had a run of commissions from friends recently, and they all relate to weddings in some way. I need to find a way of getting unlimited buffet access into my fee - that's where I truly shine!

First off: my good friends Alayna and Rich. This invite is for the party event of the year, and I can't wait - I included some nods to Mad Men and Stanley Kubrick, and managed to throw in a couple of cats and some ice cream to make sure all their interests were included.

Congratulations Dave and Siobhan

Once again, my friend Niki has commissioned me to do an illustration for her friends wedding. This time the happy couple are Dave and Siobhan - the brief was to include Edinburgh Castle in some way, and a pirate theme was also requested. I'm pretty pleased with the results!

Congratulations Emma and Gregor!

A friend very kindly commissioned me to do an illustration of some friends of hers who were getting married - lucky for me that they were getting married in Iceland in a ridiculously picturesque setting, and I was able to match it with the style of illustration. The church at the top might as well be a photograph, it really was that small and that sweet.
