The Love Story of Mark and Nicky
About three months ago when I was still in England, I got an email from Nicky who wanted a drawing for her fiancé (now already her husband) as a wedding gift!
The brief came as a storyline of their 11 years relationship from their first impression of each other to them getting together and a couple of key events of their love story, which total up to 6 different events and 7 different locations.
Here’s the sections of the story based on the images above:
#01 Nicky and Mark knew each other when they were still a teenager but only got together after Mark started playing in her band 6 year later.
#02 They went travelling to Egypt and Koh Samui. Trying out Quad Biking in the dessert and tasted their first green curry together.
#03 The travelling bug caught them and they went traveling to Prague, New York and Paris after. It snowed in all places, they were wearing funny flat earmuffs and Mark was drinking “grog”!
#04 They left for Singapore and Mark proposed 5 months later!
#05 They lived happily in Singapore for 2 years and decided to get married in Las Vegas on 30th June 2013! They missed their kitties Waffle and Disco in England and would love to have them included in their “wedding”!
Upon hearing their story was a blissful moment as I am also one of those in a long-term relationship (currently 6 years and counting). Soon after, the story slowly set in and I was thinking, “Gosh! How am I to draw all events in an illustration?” Nevertheless, Nicky was really understanding and gave me more than expected time frame for this project! I was over the moon with the result, especially when I witness it on a 1.2m long canvas!
Not to forget the best compliments I have ever heard! “I’m so excited! I can’t wait to get it and see Mark’s reaction! I’m so happy you enjoyed working on it :) We will have it in our home till we get old and grey haha! Love it! Thank you sooooo much!” Aww! I am so in love with the “grey and old” part! >.< ♥ It is a blessing to be part of this lovely project!
Thanks to Nicky for the opportunity and entrusting such a important task to me! Glad they love the outcome of the drawing! ♥♥
