Well its Been A While

Sozz for the radio silence.  To be honest its only when Mr Google sent me a message about my blog not being found it reminded me to write a post.
So life has been crazy this year - the death of a young family member was a huge shock which we are still all trying to make sense of.  Two weeks after the death I was commissioned to do a character range of cards for Cath Tate Cards for world wide license.  The rang has been mega successful - distribution deals now in Australia, trials in Paperchase and more recently added to ASOS.  Imagine drawing with a broken heart?? Thats what I did.  I love the end result though and am looking forward to its expansion in 2020.
Heres a few images!  Promise I'll write more in my blog!

Character Keyrings by Wotmalike

Being an illustrator and a business owner sometimes the illustration side gets overlooked as I run the business along with my lovely team of staff.  The characters started out as a little project for me after I was asked by The Beatles Story in Liverpool to produce some Mop Top Bealtes characters.  (This artwork is exclusive to the Beatles Story).

Then other customers asked for their favourite characters and now I have quite a long list.
Who knew I would love drawing people in my very own drawing style.  I could honestly do it all day.  I really try to create not only a likeness but also a part of their character.  My Morrissey has a slight jut of the jaw which makes it really Morrissey.  Amy is looking from the side and Liam Gallagher has a slight scowl whilst still be dead handsome. My favourites by far have been Amy Winehouse and Blondie - I think its cos I love them both.

If you have any suggestions I'd happily consider them!
