TASCHEN Illustration Now! Vol.4

Hello! Well here I am featured in TASCHEN Illustration Now! Vol. 4 - featuring "150 of the World's Most Exciting Illustrators". It's definitely exciting and an honour to be featured in a renowned & well respected publication.

Above is the Gary Pepper Girl in her Jeffrey Campbell shoes and also the educated lady illustrated for Pocketto Magazine. Below is the Bird Cage Lady illustrated for ZEST bar in the UK.

Aussie artist Kelly Smith is also featured in the book, which makes it extra special because she's one of my favourite artists. Look how amazing her illustration skills are. She was also kind enough to send me a peek of my page as she received the book before me - so thank you Kelly! (talented & kind!)

Nicoletta Ceccoli

Nicole Jarecz

Aussie fashion illustrator Kerrie Hess and Kareena Zerefos are also featured in this book. There's so much inspiration - I've bookmarked lots of pages to find out more about these talented artists. 

In other news, I've hit 408 Likes on my Chrissy Lau Art Facebook Page so thank you for joining me! I tend to show regular sneak peeks on there so definitely join me there if you'd like to see more regular updates.

Fashion Forward

Hello! I'm having a very fashion focused day today finalising some illustrations I have been working on these past few months to broaden my portfolio. A dream commission would be to illustrate for Vogue Magazine. It's been quite hectic the past week having worked on a really exciting commission which involves my Chinese heritage & Sydney (where I live). If you follow me on Instagram (search for deciphertheday) you will have seen some sneak peeks of dragons! Can't wait to show you the finished piece next year.

Oh before I say bye, if anyone is popping out today - can you pick me a few things from Gorman? I'm a big fan of this Aussie label - I own their pom pom duffle coat which kept me super snug during the chilly Winter. It has these two great big coral pom poms that everyone asks "Can I squeeze them?" haha. It's a bit greedy to say I would like every single Gorman piece so let's just say, I want need these beautiful things below :-)
