So thrilled to share the cover and a small preview of the upcoming ‘Concoctions: 50 Spellbinding Cocktails’ by Millie Mercier, published by Smith Street Books.
Illustrated by yours truly, the book features 50 bewitching beauties and their conjured cocktails.

From the Publisher:
Divided into five chapters – Love, Abundance, Harmony, Strength, and Luck – the drinks in Concoctions celebrate and tap into the energies of their ingredients. Inspire love with Cupid’s Sparkler or draw strength with a Blood Moon. Cleanse the day with a Chamomile Martini and welcome a new beginning with a Spiced Sun. Each drink is prepared with ingredients whose magical correspondences resonate together to channel a witch’s willpower.
Alongside drinks to prepare, there are spirits to infuse and syrups to prepare at home, as well as an introduction to spellwork through cocktails.
Explore the possibilities of each ingredient and imbue your drinks with meaning (and delicious flavours).


Releasing September, 2025, the book can be pre-ordered NOW!

Zendaya is LIFE

Illustrations of Zendaya by Kelly Smith

In what has been quite a significant period of editorial work, 2025 has extended my publishing streak with ‘Zendaya is Life,’ by Kathleen Perricone.
As with her previous title, ‘Beyoncé is Life,’ it features 30+ illustrations (by yours truly) of Miss Zendaya Coleman.
I am a STAUNCH devotee to the sartorial world of Zendaya, so I was absolutely DELIGHTED to have the honour of working with Quarto and Kathleen again, capturing some of her most significant ensembles. (Honestly, we could have easily added an extra 30+, she is an ICON.)

As with its predecessor, this book is one in a series of uniquely illustrated editions, each chronicling the evolution of some of our most beloved pop-culture figures.

You can find ‘Zendaya is Life’ in all good bookstores both bricks and mortar and online!

A third exciting publication has just launched for 2024 - ‘Beyoncé is Life,’ by Kathleen Perricone, features 30+ illustrations (by yours truly) of Beyoncé’s most iconic ensembles throughout her career.
It was an absolute DELIGHT to delve into the archives and revisit so many core-memory sartorial moments – from the 00’s, especially!

This book is one in a series of uniquely illustrated editions, each chronicling the evolution of some of our most beloved pop-culture figures.
I’m truly honoured to be one of the few artists lending their hand to these icons of style!

Stay tuned for perhaps one more book on the horizon…*wink*

In the meantime you can find ‘Beyoncé is Life’ in all good bookstores both bricks and mortar and online! Click here for more info!

cocktails in PARIS

I’m so pleased to share the cover and some of the inside illustrations for the brand new ‘Cocktails in Paris’ by Audrey Laroux, published by Smith Street Books.
Spanning four seasons, the book lists 50 recipes to take you from the wintry Pont Alexandre III all the way to a balmy stroll around Montmarte – complete with an arm load of market flowers.

This project was an absolute dream to work on, combining two of my greatest loves – fashion & Paris. It also allowed me to develop a slightly different style – combining finer details with a more restrained hand – to portray the great city and its inhabitants in all its colour and glory!

Cocktails in Paris is available in all good bookstores now, worldwide.
