Revisiting a decade of illustration from A to Z, I promised to show the good, the bad and the ugly. Which category this image falls into is up to each and every one of you personally. Who am I to judge! I just make the work. It is definitely an early Illustration, from 2011, when I was just starting out.

I’m kinda afraid of using purple now and I wouldn’t ever make this image this way again. In my eyes today it is unfinished, even bordering on being lazy BUT I also love the fearless use of the bold digitally collaged shapes and the fact that it was SO much faster to finish than my work is today. I have become increasingly more detailed and busy in my work that some days I just want to scream and create very simple abstracted pieces instead. The foxes aren’t a mile away from how I would draw them today. Illustrated with pencil and patterned as I still do. What do you think? Much love x SD x

(This image as others that aren’t currently stocked in my shop can still be requested by custom order and made for you in different sizes and finishes. Thanks so much for your support!)
