French Boutique meets Victorian illustration........with a dash of quirkiness!!

When I started "The sketchy world of Louise Jarvis" I went from being a traditional animal, dog portrait artist, from Scotland to meandering down a path with no destination. I was not really sure where the path would take me. It seems I have arrived at one station named "French Boutique de la quirky-ville" and I am loving it. I keep my mind open to be influenced and take in info from customers like a sponge. Many ideas and comments I know won't sit well with my ideas and where I roughly want my business to go but a few go in and sit there for a while fermenting. We all know quirky is very popular just now and this new print "Funky Frenchies" I think fits the bill. French Bulldogs are hugely popular just now, in design and in the home so why not take this and make it my own? 

Well here you go, it combines everything I want from "The sketchy world of Louise Jarvis" traditional Victorian illustration with a modern twist, but designs that wouldn't look out of place in a victorian convenience store or in fabric print. Ok they have glasses and bow ties so not exactly victoriana! but I think the overall feel is quirky meets chic! 

I am now getting a range of prices for having this manufactured as products, cushion, fabric, oil cloth bags etc. Someone also commented it would look great as wallpaper! The use for this could be endless. I hope you like it, feel free to leave any comments. Louise
