In June, an artwork of mine was featured in a Tribute Exhibition for Studio Ghibli in Cebu, the Philippines. The artwork was a poster for my favourite Ghibli film, Princess Mononoke!

The Big Arts Show - Shrewsbury
Early on Friday 1st July, I set up a stall at my first ever art show. The Big Arts Show in Shrewsbury is on its third year, and features artists, creators and musicians from all over the country. Over the three-day event I met some lovely people and sold quite a few cards!
I'm excited to say I will also be at the Big Arts Show's first event in Milford, Surrey between 9th-11th September. If you missed the chance to visit the Shrewsbury Show, don't miss out on the Southern debut!

I finally completed my Jack of Clubs illustration for Playing Arts' Special Edition deck! Horns are so much fun to draw, I just had to go for the Jackalope. Now looking forward to seeing everyone's work when it comes up for public voting in a few days time!

I just had to have a go at the #artvsartist meme. It was certainly difficult to choose!
