I've been doing so many pieces for the children's market lately that I thought I'd change it up and do something darker.

This is an editorial illustration about female gang members. It's my 3rd, and probably final, attempt at painting this idea - you may remember this one from a few years ago. It's based on an article I read a long time ago about female gangs. The image is about the loss of individual identity that occurs in favor of gang identity and how the individual's decision to become a member often, ultimately, leads to their death.

upcoming trip

My husband is going to have several days off in a row in a couple of weeks so we wanted to take advantage of that to visit another country. We found ridiculously cheap flights to Gdansk, Poland, so that's where we'll be going. I'm so excited. This type of getaway, where we get to experience other parts of the world, is exactly why we moved to the UK in the first place. I can't wait :)
