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!

Me Da's A Miner

Always nice to work with talented people and I was delighted to work with Matt Reilly (poet) again.  I wanted to create something for a mining museum which had a feeling of warmth and nostalgia.  When I spoke to Matt about him producing a poem I told him this and gave him some dialect words to incorporate into the poem.  I created this illustration from a photo I took when I was at woodhorn.  The colours and feeling I think are spot on.  I'm loving the love this has already received.

Love is in the air......

Love is in the air with loads of different accents here at Wotmalike HQ!

Our options cards are going down so well - especially the one about putting the BINS OOT!

Love makes the world go round apparently!

Happy New You!

Blimey can't believe its been so long since I've done a blog post.  Christmas 2016 and has just been a blur since August when the main production was done.  We thought this year wouldn't be so manic as we were really organised but hadn't counted on the number of personalised products which are obviously made on demand going out!
Anyway happy new 2017 - New Years resolutions and all that - to help with that diet we've got a few little gems for motivation!  Think my New Years resolution is to blog more!
