Elizabethan


I'm not sure why it's taken so long to fall in love with the fluidity and texture of canvas, as opposed to the wood panel I'd previously been using, but now I'm absolutely smitten.

This piece: What most people don't know about me is that I have a longstanding and somewhat unrelenting fascination with the reign of Queen Elizabeth, so here's a glimpse of my latest Elizabethan inspired girl, Sahpeene. She's the second piece (ever) in my new canvas series!

Cherokee | Drawing Progress

New Drawing ▲The Main Light

It's always exciting to share new artwork, especially after spending hours, days and sometimes weeks mapping through imaginative ideas and all those billowing clouds of charcoal dust.

Designs by Bella: Vintage Lollipops x Magazzini del Sale Capsule Collection

Last year, Italian designer Graziano Moro of Magazzini Del Sale contacted me about collaborating and designing a five-piece Limited Edition capsule collection for their SS 11 Love Can Change the World t-shirt line. Having never been given such an incredibly surreal opportunity before, you can imagine my absolute surprise... followed by some sort of psychotic jubilation. At the time, I'd only been drawing for about a month, which means the designs you're seeing are some of my very first artworks! Brainstorming endless possibilities, the process began with a series of sketches, clipart graphics, and silhouette collages until I further conceptualized the vision by deciding to submit only my illustrations.  After presenting numerous options, Graziano and the team exclusively selected their top picks... and after several months of diligence, reworking, and constant communication, my artwork was transformed into a beautiful line of ecru shirts forever deemed, Vintage Lollipops x M…
