Hi everyone,</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I’m working on some wall art prints just to give me a bit of a break from my regular illustration work in the evenings. I’m just testing out the waters really and working on developing a nice little range that I can hopefully end up selling myself some time in the future. But I want to see if they do ok on society6 and maybe Redbubble to start off. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So if you have a spare minute I’d love if you could pop over and have a look! If you’re not in a position to buy but are feeling lovely and wanted to help spread the word I’d be so grateful if you could share the link for me or even just click on the little hearts on the printshop give them a favourite and let me know you’ve stopped by!</div>

Well....this is awkward!</div>
I sort of fell out of touch with blogging! It's just one of those things I feel like no one is following. I don't know if anyone does see this blog or if I am just screaming into the abyss either way, the images from this blog seem to show up quite a bit on google image search and I decided I should get some more recent work up on here and clear out the garbage that doesn't fit in with my work now!.. *I'm looking at you weird Uni projects based on other artist's styles!* So I'm just going to try and post some of my work over the last 3 years maybe once a week just so to slowly build the blog back up again and we'll start here with this oldie but goldie from 2017! So if you are out there reading this stay tuned I'll be posting more shortly!<br />
<br />

Hi all! As usual it's been a while so I just wanted to post a quick update about what's been going on!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been CRAZYYY busy with work! I've pretty much been working every minute of the day for the last 6 months or so which is why I've been so quiet on the social media front!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And because everything I'm working on isn't published yet, obviously I can't post any pictures for you to have a look at which is a bit rubbish but it's also very exciting for me to be working on some really fun projects! I do have one book that's coming out in August that I did the illustration work for so as soon as that is out I'll be doing a blog post about it! I'm also working on a couple of exciting projects with Scholastic at the minute but they aren't going to be published until 2017 so I can't show you any of that work for a while! But as soon as I can I'll do a post about all that work too! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So in the mean time here are a couple of commission pieces and an updated profile pic I did for summer! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am sorry I can't show you anymore, but it will happen soon and I'm so excited for when I can share what I've been working on with you all!</div>

Amidst the chaos that is my life at the minute, I managed to quickly draw this picture this week for the colour collective on twitter! Which if you haven't heard of it, you should go have a quick look, it's a lot of fun to get involved with and its open to anyone and everyone no matter what skill level! Just search #colour_collective on your twitter and you'll find it!</div>

I've been crazy busy so far this year, I've had maybe 3 days off from working since new year and unfortunately everything I've been working on is stuff that I can't show you yet! :( BUT I have managed to sneak in a few sketches here and there between waiting for emails and stuff like that so here's a few of the successful ones! If anything I'm going to try and get a few of these done every month to post on here just to keep the blog posts coming! I'm really bad at updating on here!</div>

<span style="color: #444444;">Just a quick post to let you know tomorrow The Wild Wood exhibition begins at the Gallery at St. Martins in Lincoln! It's running from the 3rd - 15th November and there'll be lots of beautiful work by Lincoln University graduates and students on display with prints available to buy including my Autumn Fox illustration (below)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444;">I don't think I'm going to get a chance to see the exhibition myself which I'm gutted about BUT if you happen to be in the area make sure you do go and have a look! There are some really talented artists producing work for these exhibitions run by Cygnet Ink! For more info on the exhibition and future events click <a href="http://cygnetink.com/" target="_blank">here</a>!</span></div>
<div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The print will also be available in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/ArtbyHeatherBurns?ref=hdr_shop_menu" target="_blank">Etsy shop</a> soon!</div>

<b style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14px;">1. As a child, do you recall a significant moment when you felt truly affected or inspired by any particular artwork or artist?</b><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: 14px;"><i>I don't know if there are any specific moments that stand out, but there are a number of things I loved when I was younger that I think really started me on this path of illustration. I've always, for as long as I can remember, watched and loved Disney films! I've been obsessed with them for my entire life and that is still a HUGE influence to me now, I have a growing collection of 'The Art of...' Disney books which are really inspiring. I also adored The Beano and The Dandy comic's when I was little, every Saturday my dad would go to the newsagents and get me a little bar or Galaxy, a box of orange and lime TicTacs and The Beano and Dandy and I'd sit and read them whilst I watched SMTVlive! It was my ritual! I remember for one Christmas or birthday I got a little 'make your own comic' thing and I spent ages coming up with all the characters and stories and I was honestly convinced this little homemade, felt-tip pen comic book was going to be a huge success! As a teenager I became a little interested in Anime because I was obsessed with the Kingdom Hearts franchise and so I pretty much divided my after school and weekend time on either drawing all sorts of fan art and posting on DeviantArt or playing The Sims 2! I've posted a couple of my old (very cringey) pictures from those days below!</i></span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: #666666;"><i>I think most of all I want to make people smile. I love pretty things and that's what I really enjoy drawing. I'm quite an easy-going, lighthearted person and I think that comes across in my work. I'm always surprised, when I look at all of my work together, how colourful and bright it all is. It's like looking at a bag of pick'n'mix! I think at the minute I'm at that stage where my work is quite pretty but as I develop I want it to become slightly more magical and mystical and for there to be a hidden story in every image. I think the closest I've got to that feeling so far has been my Little Red illustration, it's definitely the piece I'm proudest of so far and I think it's got such a great atmosphere and depth, that's the standard I want to maintain and eventually exceed!</i></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: #666666;"><i>This is a tricky one because I haven't really a huge amount of experience in this. I'm relatively new in the illustration world and I've only really started making my mark this year! I'm always so grateful for any kind of acknowledgement of my work from an audience. I was actually really blown away at an exhibition this year for the Little Red piece that I mentioned earlier. I went to the 'Meet the Artist' evening of the exhibition and some one bought the piece as I was there and I got to meet the family and talk to them a little about the piece and there were a few other people that night that were interested in the piece and I was really sort of surprised at the attention I got! It was really lovely to meet these strangers who loved my work! It's always nice to hear you're doing alright, especially in such a competitive field where it's hard to think you're good enough! So when you do hear things like that it's so encouraging! </i></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 14px;"><span style="color: #666666;"><i>This is an easy peasy question to answer! My absolute dream project would be anything to do with a Disney Princess! Working for Disney has always been such a huge dream of mine and it always will be! Whether I ever get there or not it's always good to have that top thing to aspire to, it's great motivation. Who knows, I'd probably collapse if I ever got the email!</i></span></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Calibri;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;"><i>I've got a couple of artists whose work I'm completely in love with and are a huge inspiration to me at the minute. First of all there's Brittney Lee who I discovered either while I was doing my A-Levels or when I started University, I can't remember exactly when I found her but I was big into creating illustrations from paper and card at one point and I found her while I was researching that and as I've learned more and more about her and seen more of her work I've just admired her more and more! I couldn't tell you one specific thing about her work I like because I literally love everything about it!! This leads me onto Lorelay Bove who I discovered through following Brittney Lee. I love how textured her work is and how expressive it is! And another one of my favourites at the minute is Abigal L. Dela Cruz (or hyamei)! I found her through Twitter and her work is so beautiful! The way she uses colour is just so clever and I wish I had the same kind of knack for colour as she does, it's definitely something I'm trying to improve on and looking at the way she uses it is a big inspiration to me at the minute!</i></span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I'm going to try and get back on track with posting pictures on here! I've just been super duper busy recently with all sorts of work and I'm never sure what I can and can't post! So I'm going to stick a few of my portfolio pieces on here.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This piece was inspired by a friend of mine who has her own florist business! She makes the most lovely arrangements that she sells <a href="https://petalsscent.com/" target="_blank">online </a>and at markets. I visited her last time she was selling at a market in our town and I was telling her how I was stuck for ideas for a new portfolio piece and inspiration struck and I thought I could draw her on her stall! And so I DID! And here's the final product. Although it doesn't quite do her flowers justice she makes some beautiful little watering can bouquets and all sorts you can follow her on Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/PetalsScent/timeline" target="_blank">HERE</a>!</span></div>

Yesterday was my Mum and Dad's 33rd wedding anniversary so to celebrate I did this! It's a timeline of their life together so far from when they met to right now! It took absolutely ages I don't think I've ever worked so hard on something and I don't think I've ever used so many layers on photoshop! I don't know how my computer dealt with it! </div>

Yesterday was my Dad's birthday! He is a HUUUGE fan of The Beatles so I did this picture for him to put by his desk at home! I thought this would be a really easy picture to do but it took 2 solid days of working!! But it was all worth it because my Dad loved it!</div>

So! This is my 100th blog post! To celebrate I thought I'd do something fun for myself. I've wanted to do something like this for a while; take one of my old drawings and re-do it! And I'm going to pat myself on the back because looking at the comparison I think I've come on quite a bit in 7 years! I've also got a load of Disney pics I need to post but don't know whether to post them one by one or in one big blog post! But they'll be up soon anyway! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Here's to the next 100 posts!! </h3>

I really couldn't think of what to call this picture! I didn't want to call it something lame like Amazon Woman so I gave her the name Myrina,...I'm still not happy with it but I stumped for what else to call it! Anyway I hope you like it! </div>

First off, I apologise to any yoga fanatics out there if her pose is really not right! This was just a little sketch I did last week that I wanted to colour, it was very spur of the moment, accuracy was not in my head at the time! Nevertheless I hope you like it all the same! Possibly my last post for a few weeks as I'm about to start a real, actual, paid for job, project so might be a bit busy but I will post more as soon as I have time! :)</div>
