Urban Fox

March 8, 2015

Feeling Nostalgic today. This guy is over 5 years old and was one of my first works when I started in LSAD in 2010. My drawing style has changed a fair bit, love of furry foxes - still intact !

I'm posting this print tonight because it's one of my Mam's favourites. She loves to wear red this time of year. And Mammy's are never wrong...especially Irish ones! 'A Cross To Bear' is only €28 over on my webstore linked in my bio. A handy A4 size too! #illustrationartist #illustration #art #print #red #dress #artistsofinstagram #Drawing
A little highlight of a project I never shared yet from the last 18 months. As part of the rollout of @jamesonwhiskey new website I was invited to create lots of icons to help describe the different Nose , Taste and Finishes of their unique whiskeys throughout their website. They wanted my illustrative style to come through on the icons whilst also representing their authentic brand. . Got to work with a really professional team on this, which really encouraged me and werent afraid to challenge me. They were even sound enough to serve at my solo exhibition last year as a result. Loved working with them and learned so much. Thanks Guys 💚 Have a gawk at their website and look out for my scribbles and let me know what you think ! 😊 @jamesonwhiskey @pernodricard Full project on my portfolio on my website also linked in my bio #helenagrimesart #illustrationartist #illustration #irishdesign #irish #irishartist
Hugs are a powerful thing. A universal language that I think everyone and even some animals can understand. That feeling of safety and that someone cares is second to none. Go give someone a hug - a nice way to show some kindness this time of year. For some people it can be a lonely time of year. Look out for eachother. This original drawing 'Mane Issue' is available to purchase directly on my shop. PM for details about this piece , medium , the concept and the various places it has exhibited. #illustration #ireland #illustrationartist #fineart #artistsoninstagram #helenagrimesart #ink #colour
Today, I'm feeling grateful for art and being supported to practice it. It's very hard to get your work seen these days amongst so much beautiful content , so every time someone contacts me about a commission , purchases a print or even just sends a nice message is so unbelievably heartwarming. . I look back to where I was when I first finished college , to now. Some days, I feel I'm getting no where near what I want to achieve, but when I take a moment to look back at how far I've come, the opportunities I never imagined were possible , exciting clients I got to work with , and all I have learned in the creative industry (and so so much still to learn) ... I wonder what the next four years could bring... . Some days I'm tired but I must remember that it's my art that gives me energy.... I'm rambling nonsense now, but I guess I just wanted to share my reflection. I could be creating in a vacuum but with all you encouraging folk , im brave enough to step more and more out of my comfort zone and challenge the next step in this wee journey of mine... Who knows what next year could bring. 🌟 Pictured - one of my favourite Commissions from last year where the client's brief was 'Whatever you think!'. #helenagrimesart #Art #Cat #Drawing #Gift #Supportive
