I'm just a bit (well not just a bit) like a load really proud of the merchandise I designed for the Terracotta Warriors visiting Liverpool's World Museum.  They are expecting around 4 million visitors and so far its been a roaring success. It runs from March through til October and is well worth a visit.
From a design perspective all previous merchandise for the Terracotta Warriors was a little "traditional" I decided to put a modern twist on it.  Every warrior is different so I applied this factor to all the drawings.  Every one of my warriors is different and is accurate according to rank, uniform, head dress so I learned quite a bit in the design process.

Character Keyrings by Wotmalike

Being an illustrator and a business owner sometimes the illustration side gets overlooked as I run the business along with my lovely team of staff.  The characters started out as a little project for me after I was asked by The Beatles Story in Liverpool to produce some Mop Top Bealtes characters.  (This artwork is exclusive to the Beatles Story).John Lennon and Paul McCartney by Wotmalike Ltd
Then other customers asked for their favourite characters and now I have quite a long list.
Who knew I would love drawing people in my very own drawing style.  I could honestly do it all day.  I really try to create not only a likeness but also a part of their character.  My Morrissey has a slight jut of the jaw which makes it really Morrissey.  Amy is looking from the side and Liam Gallagher has a slight scowl whilst still be dead handsome. My favourites by far have been Amy Winehouse and Blondie - I think its cos I love them both.

If you have any suggestions I'd happily consider them!
