Emmeline Illustration

So this year I was actually organised enough to embrace ridiculously-early-Christmas-Spirit and get some card designs illustrated on time! I've just sent these (among others) to print, so they should be up for sale next week. There's three vague sets: Slightly Naughty Christmas Animals, Christmas Love and Christmas Castles!

A's Assignment

Emmeline Illustration

This week, I've had a great time delving into possible futures illustrating this fantastic micro-story by Andrew Jolly on Medium. The story was written in response to the Writing Prompt "What would you do with your last ten dollars?", and I think it's a great take on it. I'm a big sci-fi and futurology fan, so it was a lot of fun to dream up super futuristic classrooms and (stylish) teacher get-ups.
