Dreamchord Luxe revised

.

I have created several new works for the Dreamchord Luxe series, which I first began back in March last year. The series consists of what I like to call 'digital miniatures', for they are supposed to suggest a similar intimacy to polaroid images. The recurring themes here: childhood, memory, magic, diaries.

I am currently crawling through another phase of insomnia, so my working hours are pretty haphazard. Thankfully I managed to sleep almost the entirety of yesterday, so I'm just about ready to take on the world once again! I am also beginning work on a brand new commission/collaboration, which I should be able to elaborate upon at a later date - although I can say that it involves a book cover illustration and character design for a unique little doll! Quite exciting. 

Oh and on a shop related note, I shall be adding new works Anoushka and Closer to the shelves very soon!

Take care

Those are magnificent! Very dreamy & ethereal. Love the transposed imagery!

Beautiful, dreamy, intriguing! I'm right there with you when it comes to insomnia :-(
Managed to sleep okay for a few nights in a row (very unusual!) but last night was... Well. I somehow think insomnia is UNFAIR for a person who works from her home and sets her own hours. When I had to get up at 6 or 7 in the past, no wonder I couldn't sleep much, but now?

There is a strange sense here in which the memories seem all the stronger for not being quite our own - exploding whispers of a past that somehow, unavoidably, awaits.

So interesting. I love all the layers. I think Silent is my favorite one.

Gorgeous work! Nevermind and Changeling are my favorites of the group. I hope you share your doll design when the time is right - I'm sure it will be lovely.

Just calling in to see you and say hello, lovely Lou. Your latest work is magical and has such an ethereal quality that sings to me. Sending you love and bright wishes as we stroll gently through spring. xx
