Year of the tiger! Grrrrr

In January I was commissioned to paint onto eleven lovely oilcloth Liberty handbags, the icon…? A gorgeous joyful, leaping tiger to celebrate the Chinese New Year. The oranges of the tiger looked very vibrant and cheered me up no end, each one had their own personality. I was sad to see them leave but hopefully they are being worn and are out there in the wilds!

Very old illustration that I unearthed when looking for building samples to send a client. This is L’Orangerie and Jeu de Paume in Paris. It was for Metropolitan magazine that you pick up on the Eurostar. Oh la la so chic, I’d like to be in Paris today…#paris #parisillustration #jobirdillustration #jeudepaumeparis #lorangerie #museumsofparis #eurostar #parislife #emilyinparis (I admit- I’ve watched it all now!) ❤️ #editorialillustration

Lush day yesterday with my faves @womanandhome. I got to meet and draw some lovely faces at the Beauty awards, all of them winners (and a judge.) Even took home a copy of the magazine to read. I still LOVE magazines and print, much better than staring at your phone.Thank you to the E45 ladies- I’ll let you know how I get on with the serum. And thank you to all for posing for me.#liveeventillustrator #liveeventartist #liveeventillustration #styleportrait #womanandhome #womanandhomestreetstyle #jobirdillustration #beautyawards #10minposesExcuse my tired face but that’s none other than Leighton Denny MBE! 💅

Back illustrating for the marvellous @moltonbrown

Back illustrating for the marvellous @moltonbrown team today. Here are some snaps of the beautiful customers today (and some took longer than 10 mins, don’t freak out kids!) if you are in Regents st searching for presents I recommend popping into their flagship store, it’s very lux and you can even wash your hands with glittery soap.I smell divine but now off home to have a lie down. Three events this week is a lot for me, I’m making up for the holidays.#eventillustrator #londonliveevents #liveillustrator #styleportrait #freelancejugglingmom#moltonbrownlondon
