New! Improved!

Ahoy!

Well, it's been a good week for completion, yes yes indeed.
Firstly, Poppy and The Origami Bird has now become a full dummy book with four final artworks (and thousands of pages of prep work and character paintings)!
I've sent it off, along with the Clouds and Weather Systems information book to Macmillan as entries to the Macmillan Prize competition - we'll see how that pans out!







Secondly!
My Illustrated Quote image for the Falmouth Illustration Third Year book is done done done.
'Those who were dancing looked quite insane by those who couldn't hear the music' - Angela Monet.


I wanted to showcase all the things I like to paint, namely clouds, fun characters, monsters, clouds, blossom trees and birds.
I can't wait to see the finished book, I'm sure it's going to be ace, there are so many talented people on the course.


Finally, yesterday I finished off two posters to form a series with the Aussie shampoo advert I'd done a few months ago.  I had a few ideas flash into my head in the morning and just went with it, I think the project has become much more substancial being a trio.







Well, that's about it at the moment!
I have lots of projects lined up, preparations for the New York business trip coming up (a few appointments booked!) and my website will be up tomorrow hopefully! ( www.emmelineillustration.com )

I hope I see your lovely digital faces soon.
