Fashion illustrating is one of my many passions! I started posting my fashion illustrations on my instagram page @sj_illustrations back in 2014 and I've had such an overwhelming response to them and huge support on my page with over 3300 followers. It's unreal to me that people like, comment and request my Illustrations so I thank you all for supporting me! Ive been asked by a few brands and celebs if I could illustrate for them , So I've decided to start selling custom Fashion illustrations. If you are interested in purchasing one of my fashion illustrations feel free to contact me via my email or Instagram page! 

I was recently asked to if I wanted to be a featured artist for the website Cowling & Wilcox which of course I accepted and I loved answering all their questions, so feel free to check out my feature here. You can find out my main inspiration for illustrating and also some handy tips and tricks that may help any aspiring fashion illustrators! 

My Illustrations often get liked and reposted by celebs or people in the public eye like the gorgeous Zoella, Jodie Marsh, Ferne McCann and many more! I also run giveaways so that my followers can enter for the chance to win a personalised fashion Illustration. My latest competition winners where Mollie from ModernMollie.com and Lauren. Mollie asked if I could combine two pictures shown below. The short hair and pose taken from the first image and the outfit from the second. I loved creating this illustration as it pushes me to mix photographs and I'm really pleased with the final Illustration .

As you may have already seen on my Instagram, our beautiful Jodie Puss sadly passed away last Wednesday 23rd March 2016. She was mine and Craig's whole world and completed our little family! I never imagined a life without Jodie as since the day I met Craig, Jodie was always there with him as she was his first cat when he moved out on his own. She was such a loyal cat to craig that she wasnt all that friendly to anyone else. She resisted me as a friend for so many months maybe even a year but once I moved in with Craig she became my best friend, our little girl and we shared so many happy memories with Jodie!

This is the earliest photograph I could find of Jodie, this was when Craig first got her in 2005! She was so tiny and a little bit wild from what Craig tells me. She would climb the inside of the sofa and charge around the flat making all kinds of crazy sounds! She had so much going on behind her green snake eyes and was always plotting ways to find the best hiding place or snuggle spot!

As she was an indoor cat she rarely went outside unless it was for us to show her snow for the first time or sit out the garden on my lap in the summer! This meant that she was always close by, either cuddled on Craig's lap or sunbathing on the window sill in the office. She literally wouldn't be fussed or be picked up by anyone other than myself or Craig and would be sure to worn anyone else to back off! She was so sassy and full of character! We would also take her out in the car which she loved! She would sit on my lap as Craig drove around and would be so intrigued by the lights and outside world! We would get the funniest looks off people who didn't expect to see a cat on my lap in the passenger seat. 

Every winter she always looses a little weight and nibbles at her fur on her belly but then bounces back to herself in spring! So this Christmas was nothing out of the ordinary until the beginning of March when she stopped playing as much, she was super tired, drinking more often and not interested in her food which is not like Jodie at all! We took her to the vets on the 16th of march to try and find out what was wrong with her! Obviously she wasn't having any if it and lashed out in fear at the vets. They suspected kidney failure but couldn't take bloods as she was not cooperating at all!

We buried her that evening which was the hardest thing we have ever had to do! I'm so proud of Craig for digging her grave and helping me realise I had to let her go and be brave! I'm so thankful that Craig & I were totally there for each other and made every decision together from our hearts in kindness and from love! We lit some tea lights in the shape of a 'J' and said our goodbyes! 

Jodie will forever be in our hearts and we will never forget her!

We are totally heartbroken, life is so quiet here without her but we know she's not suffering anymore! It was just so quick from her seeming healthy and happy to being so weak and ill. Its so sad to see Scottie looking around the house for her, we wish we could explain to him where she has gone!

If love alone could have kept her here, she would have lived forever!

Always loved, never forgotten!
