I've missed you all so much. Unfortunately I've had to put both my blog redesign and posting on hold for the past few weeks due to a super busy schedule. I'm trying to make the most of being in New York during my work term which means plugging away daily at applications and illustration pitches. Fortunately I have some really wonderful projects and commissions on the horizon, which I'm super excited about and can't wait to share with you all here. I guess hard work really does payoff. If I can be honest, I wouldn't mind lying on a beach in Ibiza right now ;)
The three drawings I've posted above were done during a NY Fashion Model Drawing Meetup a few Sundays ago. The lovely Tomo was once again our model (yes I do draw her a lot but can you blame me?!). This group doesn't coordinate outfits in any particular theme, but I liked that there was a lot of combining of textures and shapes. Some of Tomo's poses were very geometric, almost paper doll like, so I wanted to complement them with something less rigid hence 'Splatter Scatter'. I'm pleased with the results, a nod to my abstract expressionist roots.
Enjoy,
Meag xx
As always, your work looks absolutely lovely, your style is coming through very strongly now and if I stumbled across your work anywhere I would know it was yours, love it.
ReplyDeleteI totally understand about enjoying the hard work and the results of it but at the same time really wanting a bit of a break, just to rest and regenerate, I've just been trough that myself and I can't tell you how much it paid off to just take few days off, relax and do nothing, it was the best thing I could have done. I hope you get a chance to do the same soon :)

ReplyDelete@sfd honestly that is the nicest thing to hear, knowing that my style is finally coming through and that you would recognize my work elsewhere.
