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!) 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.
