Live Illustration at Meadowhall Sheffield
Earlier this week, we illustrated at the Ladies' Night shopping event at Meadowhall in Sheffield. Customers could sit with us for 10 - 15 minutes to receive a personal portrait. It was such a fun evening and we met so many lovely people. This creative experience left everyone smiling.
Our Portrait Workshop at The Gallery at Cafe 164
This week we hosted our first portrait illustration workshop at The Gallery at Cafe 164 in Leeds. It's a venue full of inspiration because of their regular art exhibitions. For us, it was the perfect place to host an illustration workshop!
During the workshop, we helped participants find their illustrative style and create a portrait that captures their personality on paper. We invited everyone to experiment with line and colour to explore the various ways you can draw facial features.
Bubble London: Summer 2017
Bubble London is an amazing premium kidswear and lifestyle brands trade show. It was so lovely to attend. We spent the two days illustrating portraits of visitors and we even found time to perform our branding seminar. It was great to share the value of visuals with everyone.
Both days were jam-packed for us, luckily I took a couple of snaps before the madness began!
3 Minute Portraits: Celebrating Fred Aldous' 1st Birthday in Leeds
Last weekend (1st/2nd Oct 2016) it was the 1st birthday celebrations for Fred Aldous, Leeds. We couldn't believe it's been a whole year since they opened in the city... doesn't time fly? It's been our go-to arts and crafts shop ever since the store made its appearance here...
This new beginning motivates us to reinvent ourselves, exercise our strengths, and remedy our foibles. I find this especially true of our young generation climbing social ladders and (literally) growing out of their former selves!
