Mermay 08 - Old Hollywood

"Hollywood, 1939. Amid the glitz and the glitter of a bustling, young movie town at the height of its golden age, The Hollywood Tower Hotel was a star in its own right..."

... Because when I see the theme 'Old Hollywood' I can't help but think of the Hollywood Tower Hotel! Flapper meets bellhop in this tribute to my favourite ride. She'd love to be flappin' her fins in the Tip Top Club but this mermaid swims directly into... The Twilight Zone.

Roaring 20's

I am pleased to announce that I am now a member of 'Girls Drawing Girls'! If you haven't heard of them before, they are a fantastic group of female artists who create great work that can be found at the places below:

I'm very pleased to have been accepted among their ranks. This is the first weekly topic I've been able to get involved with - 'Roaring 20's'. I purposely stayed away from pure black and white. There was a lot of back and forth with the saturation settings but I'm quite happy with the final result. 

There has been a distinct lack of updates so far this year, that has unfortunately been due to a month long bout of sickness and then a big uptake in freelance work. However I have a brief respite and I plan on making the most of it!
