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.

    • Before going to Social Media it is always worth checking out the details: Southwark's spending for this year: https://www.southwark.gov.uk/council-tax/how-we-manage-council-tax/our-budget-and-how-we-spend-council-tax/our-income-and As you will see, as with most if not all London Boroughs, shed loads goes on social care and children's services.  The cost of paying for residential care, and for 'specialist schools is massive.  As with other boroughs they have been hit hard by austerity under the coalition government.  And the failure by successive governments to sort out social care.  That is a thread all in its own rights. Local authorities of all political persuasions across England are facing tough times, several have gone into administration: Birmingham, Woking, Thurrock, Croydon, Slough, Northamptonshire, and Nottingham and 11 are on bailouts.   Covid will not have helped.  Some will have made some poor investment decisions in the past eg Thurrock and Woking;  Some total mismanagement and one has been hit by historical debt through not paying their workers fairly (Brum).   Reform promise simple solutions to cutting spending.  Not that easy is it Nige?
