Didn't plan to do anything Valentine's Day-themed for , then had an idea at the last minute (only a day late :P) and figured I'd go for it.
Nice to know I can still go from blank paper to finished illustration in about 2 hours!

Happy Valentine’s Day! 👞💗👞

Shoes are a recurring motif in Swing Time!, these are obviously a pair of love bird types - probably because they’re wing-tips! (ba dum tish 🥁💥)

Love this poem from 's Gillie Robic - 'Swingtime for Venus' - on The Mary Evan's Picture Library blog


I miss the sea so much. I can feel the salt spray in the poem...

An early sketch; I hadn’t quite worked out how to draw Viv’s face yet, hence her ‘blue steel’ expression; and there is no way she would dress like this without wearing a bra and/or binding under her shirt.
