Bissett Goes Live!

Live drawing expert Jacqueline Bissett draws at two fashion store events.
Taking place in October, the first was for Space NK at their Broadwick Street W1 branch. The event was for the launch of an amazing range of make up called "By Terry" (the make up artist who invented YSL's touche eclat).  Beauty editors from Elle, The Guardian, Top Sante, Psychologies magazines & known beauty bloggers were treated to a makeover then passed over to Jacqueline to illustrate. She says "I met some fantastic people and really talented make up artists and had a fabulous day drawing fabulous people!"
And last month, Jacqueline was invited to a Warehouse event at Cribbs Causeway in Bristol. After having a make-over, lucky customers were then given the Bissett treatment by having their 'new look' beautifully drawn on paper. Jacqueline says "I drew the public for a pre-xmas event and Warehouse staff of course! Had a great day and did about 15 illustrations over 8 hours!"

In aid of breast cancer, Hallhuber have launched this charity scarf to raise awareness and funds for more research. The scarf is on sale now.

Charmed Again

These 3 spreads are just a flavour of what you can see in the latest Thomas Sabo Charm Club Catalogue illustrated once again by Jacqueline Bissett.  Jacqueline continues to indulge us with her loose lines and swirls, for that confident and 'free' style she has mastered. She says "(I am) just starting the 2014 diary and I'm glad that I have a chance to continue with 'Lucy's adventures'".

Selfridges Shoe Carnival

Jacqueline Bissett @ Selfridges London

Shoe lover or not, how can you resist having a new pair illustrated! Whether on the box they came in, the bag they are put in or the soles you will walk on, Jacqueline Bissett and Lucia Emanuela Curzi are guest illustrators at Selfridges over the coming weeks doing just this to your shoes!

Selfridges is 'the world’s most iconic destination for shoe lovers', and is celebrating the Shoe Carnival by filling their 'extraordinary shoe spaces with fun, theatre and dance'. Taking place at the London, Birmingham and Manchester stores, Jacqueline and Lucia will be ready to put their style on your soles on Saturdays this month and next; Jacqueline is at Selfridges London on 16th March and 20th April, Lucia will be at Selfridges Manchester Trafford on April 6th, Selfridges Manchester Exchange Square on April 13th and Selfridges Birmingham on April 20th.

Jacqueline says of her first day at the London store on Saturday "(a) German lady was thrilled to have her heels customised on the 'arches' so the lips that I painted could be seen!"

 

Thomas Sabo Diary 2013

Jacqueline Bissett completes another gorgeous diary for Thomas Sabo Charm Club. Working closely with Ingeborg Schindler at AHD (Offenbach) who designed the layouts, Jacqueline drew herself silly with this job! Having illustrated the diaries before, she feels quite at home with the client. Jacqueline says "I love doing this job, it's so great to be able to improve what you've done before and to put 'Luzy' in new situations, it's always fun to start sketching, I draw literally hundreds of pages of figures before the final ones are chosen"

Look Magazine Fashion Show

Jacqueline Bissett has spent a day drawing at the Look Magazine fashion event, which took place last week and opened by Kelly Brook.  Situated at The Royal Courts of Justice, Jacqueline was given a new Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 as her drawing tool, which they also very kindly gave her! Jacqueline created some drawings of the Look prize winners and some other guests and sponsors. The 'sitters' were then emailed their 5/10 minute fashion sketches. She says "It was quite a challenge as I (normally) do everything by hand....it was quite a fun day!"

The day has also been featured in Look magazine, for more information on the event go here.

Bissett's Brilliance

Thomas Sabo

personal work

Now in her new 'made to measure' studio, Jacqueline Bissett has been busy with more Thomas Sabo work and some awfully nice personal pieces too. Continuing her relationship with Thomas Sabo, her 3 large recent commissions include a perfume ad, the 2011 catalogue and a 2012 diary. More info here. And she says of her personal work "My new work is a lot more colourful with a Sixties vibe of the latest collections." We love it.

Thomas Sabo Diary

As resident illustrator for Thomas Sabo, Jacqueline Bissett continues to wow us all with her simply beautiful illustrations. Her latest images currently grace the jewellers website and can also be found within the pages of the Thomas Sabo Diary, a promotional giveaway to clients. She says: "I'm enjoying my second year of working for them, they keep me busy all year round! As soon as I've finished the 2011 catologue, I'll be working on a new (secret) project to celebrate their 5th Birthday for Charm Club!"

London Calls

Jacqueline Bissett's poster ads for Belle de Jour's 'Further Adventures of a London Call Girl' are currently splashed all over the London Underground.

Featuring Jacqueline's cover artwork which was commissioned by Mark Ecob at Orion Books, the flirtatious design sits snugly alongside the book's predecessor: 'Intimate Adventures of a London Call Girl'. A scaled-down version of the design is also appearing on a set of small promotional match books.

A Big Draw

Among the artists, cartoonists, designers and other celebrities adding their drawings to the giant frame at Covent Garden's Big Draw earlier this month, was our very own Jacqueline Bissett who can be seen here drawing this 6ft fashion figure.

With a single hour allotted to draw, the pressure was certainly on. But says Jacqueline: "the kids were all up close watching which was a great distraction from my nerves." Please see http://www.campaignfordrawing.org for more information on the event.

Jackie And Jacqueline

Jackie Collins' new novel "Drop Dead Beautiful" is the latest book to feature the fine work of Jacqueline Bissett on the cover.

Following on from her work illustrating a number of Maritta Wolff titles for Simon and Schuster last year, Jacqueline has also been commissioned to illustrate a further four titles from the Jackie Collins' catalogue.

Art Recycled

Recycling art for reproduction on recycled materials is Littlearth and this new range of eco-friendly handbags featuring designs by the talented Jacqueline Bissett.

Littlearth's Nicole Patriarco approached Jacqueline for the handbags which are made from recycled aluminum license plates and adorned with Swarovski crystals.

Tatler Makeover

Giving the fashion world an illustrative makeover this month is Jacqueline Bissett and these exquisite pieces for Tatler magazine.

Jacqueline has been commissioned for several jobs at Tatler recently, the latest of which was for an article on plastic surgery.“The brief was a layout mocked up with my images as they had a good idea of what they wanted", explains Jacqueline. “This involved a head and shoulders and a side view of a cropped figure to show off the breasts!”

Works Like A Charm

It could only be Jacqueline Bissett when Jeweller Thomas Sabo was seeking illustration for their Charm Club catalogue comprising of around 50 illustrations.
Commissioned by ad agency AHD, Bissett placed her high society Charm Club Girl creation in various scenarios: clubbing, shopping etc resulting in an illustrated lifestyle. The clients were so impressed she has just completed an additional illustration for their new perfume ad.
