Before you complain Instagram, I HAVE censored ALL images in advance 🙄 Gallery trips are always a great way to bump myself out of a bit of an art rut and last month I went to the Picasso & Paper exhibition at @royalacademyarts Man that is one HUGE exhibition and I have to say I don’t love all of his work but his early drawings really do resonate with me. I decided to do a basic illustration based on one of the monolithic drawings that inspired me. Swipe to see the original (scale in unfathomably large; as big as the whole wall!) It’s always nice to study the master artists and it definitely makes me want to work more on this theme 🙏🏻✨ Get yourself to the exhibition if you can! . #illustration #illo #art #procreate #ipadproart #artblock #picassoandpaper #inspiredbyartists https://www.instagram.com/p/B9XfoyTl7qi/?igshid=1i7jzzo13w19e

As for those of you that know, I love drawing my physical ALXNDRA products, like my jewellery, into my illustration work 💖 So I wanted to combine the 2 in real life!

YUMI “Cake Date” shirt from my new collab with @yoyothericecorpse 💚 Only available for preorder until March 14th ✨ . Let's start with the fabric (my favourite part!). It is made from 100% Poly Jacquard Check. I know "poly" doesn't sound great but I have spent ages testing different fabrics and ordering samples over the years to find the perfect fabric! It is super soft to the touch and light-weight, floaty and flowy perfect for warmer weather. There is a slight texture to the surface of the fabric and my most favourite part is that because it actual is a poly, it is so easy to look after! You can wash it at 30 in the washing machine Please do not tumble dry but that's not a real problem as this fabric is practically crease proof! Hang dry and it’s ready to wear. ⠀⠀ The fabric is printed with an eco friendly company based in the UK and hand-made by an independent dress maker based in London. . #japanlovers #collab #printdesign #madeintheuk #shopsmall #textiles #artistwhocollaborate #yoyothericecorpse #alxndracook (at London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/B81v_CWFRAz/?igshid=igdzvdc9tgtr

Collaborating on this print with @yoyothericecorpse was so much fun 🥰🙏🏻 we both spent ages talking about what sort of theme we wanted to do and since eating cake is one of our fave pass times together “Cake Date” seemed right 😂👻🐰💖 The print was developed with both of us drawing many different elements and I had the fun task of choosing all the best ones and organising it into a repeating print! 🥰🙏🏻 Pre-order for our collab will be released tonight!

I may seem a bit shy at the moment because my shop is currently closed BUT HELLO to all my new followers! 🥰🙌🏻💖 . For those of you that are new I just wanted to re-state why my shop is closed and let you know that it won’t be closed for long. January was bit of a crazy one for me health-wise so I wasn’t able to sort out a lot of things I originally had planned to do. Hoping to get everything back up and running by mid feb with a brand new website and some awesome new products too; including a huge exciting new textiles collab with @yoyothericecorpse 💖 More info to come SOON! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 . #illustration #alxndracook #procreate #madeintheuk #illo #ipadproart #jewellerydesign https://www.instagram.com/p/B8MesCvlUUZ/?igshid=19f74duqztymk
