I had the joy recently of collaborating with fantastic illustrator/animator Gary Mayes. Whilst preparing for a job we realised that we had a little time and it would be beneficial for us to do a little ‘test’, what better way than to wish you all a ‘Happy New Year’ ?!
I drew approx. 150 frames which then Gary took away and worked his magic.
I hope you enjoy our little ‘film’ and look forward to showing you more collaborations soon
Best wishes for 2019

I had a very exciting day last week at Soho House's Festival at Kenwood House. It was a hot day and my first time working at a festival outdoors. Luckily I had a shady spot on the edge of Private Drama's marquee where I was able to cast an odd glance at the amazing acts of circus-style performers. Their theme was very much 'The Greatest Showman' Vaudeville style with traditional acts being off-centred and updated, I felt honoured to be a part of their very grand marquee.
A great idea to change the King over to the Queen as the highest ranking card- after all we have had one as our longest reigning monarch ever! Now why don't we have a United Queendom??? (thank you Toni Brennan for this insightful suggestion!) I was asked to draw a list of celebrities to engage with people on social networks and television. Working from photos so not exactly a 'live event' but working in situ in their amazing offices in Covent Garden opposite the Old Bailey was great fun.
Another City, another Emporio Armani event for Jacqueline. Linking up her iPad Pro to a 2 metre high screen, this customer evening event was a huge hit with customers and local bloggers. Jacqueline felt really at home as this is the city near where she grew up and went to Bournville College of Art, embarking on her fashion career. Little did she know 30+ years ago that she would end up working for such luxury brands as Giorgio Armani. The fabulous designer shopping centre The Mailbox is a great place for shopping and eating, hosting this wonderful champagne and canapéd event.
Another creative commission from last month came from Yu Soga at Vogue Japan. I was asked to create loose watercolours inspired by keywords such as 'Concentration','Share', 'BrushUp'& 'Master'. The promotion was for Pola, a luxury anti-aging skincare range, featured a month over the Xmas/ New Year period on Twitter and other networks.
Live Event options (Silver, Gold, Platinum packages) are flexible, every event is different - fill out a booking form or email us enquiries@jacquelinebissett.com with specifics and we will do our best to accommodate.
Minimum booking is 4 hours, however- it’s always worth asking!
