hazy jean birthday card beer cheers toast illustration

I had the pleasure of illustrating this birthday card for Hazy Jean a few weeks back, and it’s now available in shops & through Hazy’s online catalogue. Illustration was done in acrylic on illustration board. (And Hazy did an awesome job on the type, I could just eat it!)

valentine's greeting card fairytale castle whimsical

Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! I illustrated this card last July for Hazy Jean’s 2008 Valentine’s line. I always like illustrating whimsical fairy tale castles… could have something to do with my last name, who knows. I used mainly watercolour with a smidge of coloured pencil, then added the linework in Illustrator afterwards to tie in with the font Hazy had chosen.
