Thank you! Commission

A couple of my friends recently cycled from John O'Groats to Land's End, raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support. 

They tweeted along the way and there are photos and some more info on their Twitter account: @IlesRideMiles 

They asked if I could make a 'Thank You' postcard (black and white) for those that helped and sponsored along the way and here it is in draft first...

 

And the final printed postcards:

Milestone

Day 24 | MarchMeetTheMaker is Milestone

I wasn't sure what to put for today as it's still so early, but I think it might be my first commission as Alice Draws The Line. 

This is something I'm currently working on and triggered the spring modern botanical illustration studies I've been doing. I know most have appeared on here already but here's a short flick through the sketchbook to show them together.

Wedding illustrations

I had the great pleasure of being asked to do a couple of drawings for my brother's wedding last month. The first was a picture of the church, for the front of the Order of Service...

The second was an illustration of my brother and his wonderful wife for the back of the Order of Service. They have a splendid hammock they frequently rig up between trees and relax in (often by a river with a fabulous picnic!). They are also fans of a good G&T and so here they are toasting each other. The quote is one they chose, and one I think is just lovely, and particularly fitting for them.
