Destination Wedding Guestbooks Now Available!

July 7, 2017 by hollyblake84

I’m happy to announce that destination wedding guestbooks are now available to purchase on Etsy. These single sided boards are A3 size (297mm x 420mm). They’re big enough for your guests to leave a message, signature or thumbprint on the area that surrounds the illustration, whilst still being small enough to fit snugly into your suitcase! Printed on to thick 5mm foam board, they won’t wrinkle or get creased when travelling long distances. Rather than a traditional book, these alternative […]

Wedding in the Loire Valley

January 4, 2016 by hollyblake84

Just before the end of last year I was asked to create some travel poster wedding invitations for a wedding in the Loire Valley in France next summer. The wedding will be taking place at the Chateau Saint Victor which is a beautiful turreted building set in gorgeous grounds. A river flows past the chateau and Megan and Jonathan were keen for me to give the image a twilight feel with twinkling stars and guests enjoying the beautiful venue. I was so […]

December 30, 2015 by hollyblake84

I was recently asked to create a bespoke piece of art depicting the Il Palio di Siena – a famous horse race that takes place in Italy. It occurred to me whilst working on this piece that I rarely create images featuring animals or people so it was an exciting challenge to have so many to make in one picture! I decided not to go into too much detail with the faces of either the crowd or the racing horses as […]
