Jacqueline was thrilled to be part of the CTN Expo team in Burbank, Los Angeles in November 2019

Jacqueline was invited to be part of CTN Expo 2019, their 10th year celebrating this amazing animation expo. Jacqueline was interviewed on stage by Jill Daniels- a multi Emmy winning Art Director and brilliant background painter for many huge animation productions. The Expo itself was a plethora of talent with model makers, guest artists and animators- an inspiring overview of the world of animation. Set in Burbank, California where all of the animation studios are based, Jacqueline had the opportunity to look around the Disney TV animation studios and met some of the great people who work on the huge film productions.

Jacqueline was also drawing live in the Featured Artists section , part of the ‘Breakfast with the Pros’ and giving advice on young artists’ portfolios at the ‘Career Camp’.

Cliveden House hosts a huge wedding where Jacqueline illustrates guests with fellow fashion artist Kathy Wyatt

We had the honour of illustrating guests at a grand wedding at Cliveden, a celebrity hangout in Berkshire hosting royalty and infamous guests such as Christine Keeler and Mandy Rice-Davies in the swinging Sixties- whose Profumo scandal brought down the Labour government!

It was a glittering pool side evening reception, with guests, casually attired and relaxed eating and chatting whilst Kathy Wyatt and I sketched on iPads and in ink. The guests were given a choice whether to have digital illustrations emailed to them or hand drawn to take away. We were both shattered at the end of the night having heads down and drawing like crazy for 3 solid hours!

Ralph Lauren invites Jacqueline to draw digital portraits for their weekend RL50 handbag launch

Naia commission Jacqueline to illustrate for their animation and stand at Première Vision in Paris

I worked on a huge animation project with Uber Digital design company on hundreds of sketches animated by Uber for a short film to show their sustainable, nature fibre product. The digital illustrations on iPad Pro using Procreate showed 3 different looks ‘Slounge’, ‘Urban’ and ‘Bar Noir’ in relevant settings which I also illustrated along with nature elements. The very talented crew at Uber Digital in London used Rotoscope animation to create a wonderful short film.

Jacqueline illustrates for Four Seasons magazine for their Fashion issue

I was recently commissioned by the luxury travel brand Four Seasons to illustrate in the Fashion issue of their third issue. Articles to illustrate included a fascinating read by SC Stuart showing the impact of Artificial Intelligence on fashion design and where the future is taking us, by keeping a track and logging information on existing designs/trends. The next feature by Amanda Mull was on catwalk representation of women of many physical abilities and sizes. Finally I was asked to give my opinion on present fashion trends and for my take on reinvented designs from leading brands’ archives. I decided to work digitally on the iPad Pro, which is still a lesser area of my work, the suitability for the articles seemed most relevant. It’s always good to have some editorial work as a freelance illustrator as this is still our best showcase, seeing one’s work in print.

4 full days live drawing at Ralph Lauren's Polo flagship store on Regent Street

I had a great time over the Royal Wedding weekend, working on the first floor of the beautiful Regency building. Staff were very welcoming and it was great to work in a place with a lovely 'family feeling'! The glitzy opening evening was attended by the fashion glitterati who came to listen to Ginnie Chadwyck-Healey who gave a fabulous talk on the styling of Ralph's new collection. The following 3 days I spent linked up to a large monitor where guests were invited to try on the new collection, styled by the staff. I then sketched them on my iPad Pro, emailing the illustrations directly to them. 

At the beginning of May, Armani took Jacqueline to Birmingham for another innovative, interactive event

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.

Some recent iPad Pro digital work for collections Spring/Summer 2018

I 've been enjoying some recent catwalk shows from Dior and Chanel pre collections for Spring Summer 18, working on my iPad Pro using Procreate app and most of all- HAVING FUN!!!!

An evening of menswear digital illustrations for Armani Collezioni in Selfdridge’s, London

I spent an early December evening drawing customers’ portraits in my favourite department store on the second floor where the designer mens’ floor were having a celebratory Xmas event with music, champagne and free framed portraits for Armani guests. Commissioned by the wonderful team Armani, it was a pleasure to work with them once again wit their innovative event of linking my iPad to a 2 metre high screen and printer so that customers, as well as receiving their printed, framed portrait, also receive an email and time-lapse of their own art5 work.

Emporio Armani invites Jacqueline to produce digital fashion illustrations for the Emporio Armani / Marie Claire fashion 'roadshow'

Just back from an exhausting few days in Glasgow and Manchester with Armani. I was invited to draw portraits of guests on my iPad Pro, which was linked up to a 2metre high monitor. This had been set up 'portrait style' so was huge! It was such a unique idea and I had quite an audience, not great for the nerves but once 'into the drawing zone' I loved it!

The customers were gifted their prints on the night which were mounted and framed.

It was a pleasure being surrounded by such gorgeous clothes- the Emporio range is stunning. There was also a presentation by Marie Claire's Fashion Editor, Jayne Pickering showing key looks for the season. 

It was great to be part of the Armani team and the staff were great, I'm looking forward to being part of their Xmas promotions in Selfridges in December, more details to follow...
