NEVER NOT CHASING A MILLION THINGS I WANT

The super lovely Bee & Luke from The Finer Things Club have featured my Daenerys print on their awesome blog, along with some other amazing tv show and movie related coolness by other illustrators, I especially like the Dwight print by Lyzi of Being Little and the Jesse from Breaking Bad print by BestPlayEver. I'm loving their blog, it's full of wonderful things, ideas, weekend inspiration and the good things in life.

IT GIRL

Alexa Chung, a favourite icon of mine since my late teens, I'm reading and rereading her pastel pink book 'IT' religiously. Here are some illustrations inspired by her, they're postcard size and lovely to slip into a copy of the latest book by the muse and wrap up as a present, or pop in pretty frames.

SEPARATED FROM THE SEA, BY A SHIFTING SHORE

I now have a tumblr account which I'll be updating with new illustrations and shop editions http://natashalikestea.tumblr.com/ ♥♥♥

HE SAYS I'M SO LOST, NOT AT ALL WELL

Busy Saturday walking round the lovely city but it was super crowded, managed to pick up essentials (treats from M&S and lovely bits from The Body Shop), we drank pomegranate and blueberry sparkling water, posted some lovely shop orders and then headed back home before the skies turned deep grey. Spent all Saturday night feeling awful, no amount of tea could help, had no sleep and was awake so early. Sunday was recovery with soft pillows and oat biscuits and tea.

ARABELLA & LAVENDER mermaids

Arabella the tattooed mermaid and Lavender the dreamer with the magic mirror are two of my latest illustrations. I have been wishing to draw more mermaids as I was so obsessed with The Little Mermaid as a little girl and love the many personalities they hold. These are the first two of a series that I have been working on and will be published in a zine in the near future ♥ 

Both Arabella and Lavender are available as illustration prints in my etsy shop
