A series of illustrations based on the theme of shops. Gouache, watercolours, colour pencil and white gel pen on mixed media paper, tweaked in Photoshop.

Final outcomes from a project looking at shop names and business titles. From the starting point I looked at punny names for shops and imagined what these shops would provide and who would work in them. Taking inspiration from the popular children's toy line 'Sylvanian Families' I decided upon the fun angle of animal characters in their working lives. Combining the two with my favoured mediums of gouache, watercolours and colour pencil these series of stylised shop illustrations are the end result.
