In April I was approached by the lovely people at Design Depot Magazine (Victoria, Australia) who asked me to provide illustrations for an upcoming article on this year's Spring Racing Carnival.
The Spring Racing Carnival is held at Flemington Racecourse, Melbourne every year running from late September to mid-November and is a prestigious event for both sport and fashion!

The famous Flemington entrance gates...
Spring Carnival fashion...
Pretty Spring decor ideas...
Victoria, Australia's rainbow lorikeets...
Some of these subjects were a little different for me! The Flemington gates definitely took the longest amount of time to complete, but the most challenging aspect of these illustrations was finding the best way
to portray a glamorous lady dressed in her fashionable racing attire - I wanted to capture a very sophisticated look but also keep it fun and fresh, just like her vivid outfit.
Here are some of my other drawings that were decided not be used and so went unfinished: (Although I would like to paint them at some point!)
