FESTIVE PUG

I drew this pug over xmas. I really enjoy dogs in hats, and I was feeling festive.

FANCY DRESS DOGS

I find dogs in fancy dress really funny. Currently I am not sure if I want to create illustrations that I find funny or not, but I really enjoy looking at these images.

MANIFESTO

I am currently interested in fashion illustration, and also really enjoy drawing animals, both from life and in unusual scenario's. For example, a pug enjoying a christmas lunch at a dining table.

I really love the new and old fashion illustrations. My favourite are the stylish old vogue magazine covers, I really appreciate what they bring to fashion. I have always been interested in fashion drawings, and I think it is a subject lots of people enjoy. However, I do get bored of drawing beautiful people over and over.

Recently I have really enjoyed drawing animals from life as I find it interesting drawing something so real. However, I know a few people can appreciate these drawings as art, but most people find observational animal drawings a bit boring. I want to continue drawing animals but in such a way that other people will find amusing or interesting.

I am going to experiment by combining my two current favourite things to draw. I would ideally like to create fashion illustrations but with animals rather than humans. I am not sure whether this would end up as just a few finished drawings, a book, or posters. I could also possibly create a catalogue of fashion styles for animals. I am also interested in narrative, so my current favourite idea would be to create a narrative about fashionable animals.
