Mariachi Band

Ok, so I've been busy working on two BIG commissions over the past few months which I am very excited to reveal. However, though they may be finished I am not yet able to publish them... so in the meantime here is my drawing of a mariachi band... enjoy

(This was something I came up with when I first started doodling ideas for a Mariachi Doritos UK Tour brief last week but then I massively ran out of time. These guys sadly won't be showing their faces on the tour posters, but at least they are having a good time anyway.)

Happy Easter

Just a little doodle I did to wish everyone a Happy Easter...

WAREHOUSE

Warehouse recently got in touch with Brat and Suzie and asked to do a collaboration and have now launched their new collection 'Brat and Suzie for Warehouse' which features my two illustrations...

Tulisa is already enjoying the new collection, papped here wearing my Rabbit Sweatshirt. You can buy my Squirrel Tie Front Tee and my Rabbit Sweat Shirt in store in Warehouse now!

The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories

Series of three illustrations for The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories by Angela Carter, with captions taken directly from the text.

THE BLOODY CHAMBER
"The castle would shine like a seaborne birthday cake lit with a thousand candles."

THE COMPANY OF WOLVES
"She bundled up her shawl and threw it on the blaze, which instantly consumed it."

PUSS-IN-BOOTS
"A white hand fragrant as Arabia descends from the black cloak and reciprocally rubs behind his ears at just the ecstatic spot."

Urban Apothecary London

Here are the illustrations from my recent project with British lifestyle brand Urban Apothecary London. I was asked to illustrate the intricate glass jar and the 8 beautiful scents that they hold. The Luxury Candles are available to buy online at urbanapothecarylondon.com or at johnlewis.com

SPHYNX CATS GALORE

Ok so before Christmas a very lovely lady called Amy Beeton bought one of my Sphynx Cats Get Cold prints as a Christmas present for her Mum. Much to my delight, he later emailed me photographs of her Mum's cats as a thank you for the artwork. Holy moly, so freakin cute! The end of her email said "btw - there names are Prune, Touie, Rhapsody and Ghandi." Brilliant.

A few bits of recent food related projects... yummmmm!

BIRTHDAY TREATS

So our neighbours daughter may play her keyboard far too early, play too much Lady Gaga far too loud and have a devilish habit of screaming at the top of her lungs then telling her mother it was us... fair play to her shes got some great birthday card making skills. I had no idea her and David Cameron were so close.

If you wish to own a similarly rad birthday card, or a greeting card for another occasion, I now have some bits for sale in my Etsy shop. Please have a browse - EMILY MAY ILLUSTRATION SHOP
