Alexandria Turner Illustration: CharacterMart Exhibition

In December I was fortunate enough to take part in an exhibition, CharacterMart, at the Biscuit Factory in Leith. Organised by some terribly talented artists, character creators, and all round good eggs, it was a really exciting thing to be a part of and I loved every second of it (even manning the shop when it was below freezing temperatures INSIDE). I also loved having a reason for creating some self-directed work, as I'm the kind of person who needs the panic of a looming exhibition to actually get off my bum and do some of my own stuff...

The pieces I did for this exhibition were a little different from some of my other illustration work. They were based around a character I created a long time ago, the great and all powerful ROGER. I'm not really sure where Roger came from, it kind of feels like he was already floating around in the ether and just popped into my brain fully formed. Anyway, the pictures I did for this exhibition involved him meeting and marrying his lady love, and a bunch of his descendants (plus his wife's scary family). These prints are also available for SALE so do message me if you fancy one adorning your wall.
