Better Homes and Gardens: "Live Well" // Photo Frames, Car Keys and Swimming Pools

The second of the two articles I worked on in the July issue of Better Homes and Gardens US magazine. For the "Live Well" section, I contributed four small spot illustrations to accompany the content.

As with the Better Health illustrations, these also required a consistent colour palette to compliment the page theme. I love those fancy "fine art" photo frames! Here they are as they appear in the magazine:

Here's a variation on the car keys that didn't make the final cut.

If you missed yesterday's post on the Better Health article, you can find it here!

Thank you for reading! Please let me know what you think, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Sketchbook // WIP Departing Aston Martin (Angus teaser #1)

...You may have noticed that I have been much quieter (than usual) in recent months. The reason is that I have been kept busy with a huge project - my largest commission and project so far, in fact.

I am illustrating a children's storybook!  Not only is this a dream-come-true for me, (I have dreamed of doing this since I was little lass who spent way too much time adding overly-elaborate pictures to her school work...) but I absolutely adore the story and the characters which makes it a pleasure to work on.

I can't give too much away just yet, but I can share some snippets.

An old Aston Martin preparing for and departing on its journey. Its not often you see an Aston with an attached luggage rack!...Guess the model? Hint: its very famous!
