💅💫 New project. Wild Card Brewery can art!! I love all the fun and interesting art they use for their cans. This is an illustration concept for a non-alcoholic cocktail flavoured with fresh pomegranate, lime and red currents (delicious??). Very mysterious ‘what adventure will the future hold?’ kind of vibes being served here.

Earlier this year I was lucky to be accepted into the AOI Mentorship Programme and since then I’ve been busy working to add to my portfolio and round out the types of work I can do. This is the first of these new projects. I’d love the opportunity to work with companies and agencies, to make luscious fun & exciting work for their products and brands.

I had Marcus as my mentor and he’s been great to chat with about everything this past year. Highly recommend applying to a mentorship programme for anyone who’s thinking of it. It’s been nice to have someone to keep me accountable for my grand illustration plans lol!!! (I also have more projects ideas I haven’t even started yet, but we’ll talk about that when I get around to making them lol) ✌️

279/365 A sleepy little mouse sneaks a nap under an abandoned witch's hat. This is my last prompt of the month and it's for @furrylittlepeach prompt SLEEPY 😴 . Glad I was able to hang in there this year, I did 8 altogether so that's about 2 a week. But like my little mouse friend, I am now very sleepy, so it's time to curl up, grab some snacks and watch Hocus Pocus 2!!!⁠

Have a nice Halloween everyone! Hope you all have some good movies and tasty eats tonight!! 🎃⁠
