Artwork Commissions - Illustration

Recommended Posts

Hello,


I recently had an exhibition at Jeannie Avent Gallery and met some fellow local East Dulwich Residents.


I am an artist. I make illustrations for kids (though I they appeal to adults too!). My work is black and white, and is custom hand drawn. I focus primarily on making work as gifts for newborns. An illustration is a great gift that isn't plastic and lasts a long time.


You can see samples of my work here biddyillustration.com or in instagram @biddy_illustration


I also had sculptural works in the show at Jeannie Avent. Some works were in timber and others were crabs made out of cans and old fabric. I had a couple of people ask me if I would be willing to make their child's old clothes into an artwork or sculpture. I would be more than happy to. Get in contact if you would like to discuss an idea!


I am attaching a sample of an illustration commission.

The badger is for the English Dad, he is holding an oak leaf for his British heritage. The mum is South Australian, hence the Australian Magpie and vine leaves for the Barossa Valley. The child was born in 2020, represented by the Pangolin and she is a Gemini, the Gemini Constellation is in the sky. On the moon there is a faint outline of a tennis ball as the parents met playing tennis. I came up with these ideas in response to the answers given to simple questions I gave the client.


Don't hesitate to contact me. I live in East Dulwich and am happy to meet in a park or cafe to discuss ideas.

    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
