Tamu McPherson

I did ten illustrations for Milk X Magazine in Hong Kong. 

The images are of selected fashion bloggers wearing their chosen "runway item" (Fall Winter 2012/2013). 

I will post all ten drawings here in the coming weeks. 

First up:

Tamu McPherson of All The Pretty Birds

She is wearing a Chloe coat. 

Mandala

I stayed at my Mother's house this weekend. 

The weather is gorgeous and my mother has a wonderful backyard, so we spent the afternoon outside drawing Mandalas.
This is the result. 

2nd Preview MilkX Magazine

Milk X Magazine Preview

My illustrations are featured in the August edition of Milk X Magazine. 

This is a preview and I will post all illustrations in the week(s) ahead (and also the full article once I have received the hard copy so I can scan it). 

The assignment was to draw ten Fashion Bloggers wearing their favourite Fall/Winter 2012/2013 fashionpieces. The deadline was very tight, last minute and I also had another assignment to work on that week plus a busy week at the office, but  I pulled it off, worked nights. I am not 100% satisfied, wish I could have spend a bit longer on them, but hey I also need to learn when to stop. I sometimes tend to work too long on a drawing and end up messing it up. So yes I am happy!

Hope you like it!

X Have a great weekend!

Tilda Swinton

Today I did a drawing with pen and marker. But I guess I am more of a pencil and watercolour person, but still always good to do something else every now and then. And the colours are nice and bold, just like the woman in the picture. 

This is a drawing of the superb Tilda Swinton (original pic from Candy Magazine). 

She's often snapped fresh-faced, without a scrap of make-up. So after a drag queen makeover British actress Tilda Swinton is barely recognisable in the issue of Candy Magazine. Celebrating 'transvestism, transexuality, cross dressing and androgyny, in all its manifestations' the publication features the 51-year-old sporting eyelash extensions, lashings of eyeliner and fake nails.

Xevi Muntane shot the cover and the coordinating photo story in the magazine, working with creative director Jerry Stafford. Together the two created a story called "The Transformer," which shows just how easily Swinton can switch from one persona to the next.y.

Over the years, Swinton has worked her androgynous style, appearing on the red carpet wearing either sophisticated gowns or tailored men’s suits. Describing her style influences as David Bowie and her father, Sir John Swinton, she told W Magazine last year: 'From childhood, I remember more about his black patent, gold livery, scarlet-striped legs, and medal ribbons than I do of my mother’s evening dresses. 'I would rather be handsome, as he is, for an hour than pretty for a week.'
