Love

Today's post brings an appropriately love-themed artwork - I felt like it had been too long since I focused on heavily embellished type and I thought what better time to go back to it than Valentine's. The words are taken from the start of Elephant Love Medley, one of the main songs from Baz Lurhmann's classic romance tale Moulin Rouge. Enjoy, and Happy Valentine's Day!

Valentine

It's time for some new work - after my logo design that I posted a few days ago I wanted to experiment more with using my trusty dip pen and a digital collaging technique that I had started to perfect on my phone illustrations as well as my Downton Abbey poster.

So then, I suppose if I were to be brave and rich enough to have a gigantic colourful tattoo it would probably look a bit like this...

This was also inspired by my good friend Natasha as I knew she would love to see a sugar skull style drawing! I'd love to hear any comments on what you readers think of this style. 

I suppose it's also a little bit lovey-dovey in its own crazy way, so consider this my Valentine to you all and all that I love - Happy Valentine's day!
