5 out of 5 starsThis image is just stunning. Love the colours, the pinks & the reds. Can't wait to have it framed. Was apprehensive about delivery as I live in Republic of Ireland & sadly have had many problems receiving items from UK, but happily this arrived without a hitch!!

About DorcasCreates
DorcasCreates is a visual artist obsessed with illustrating Black women and centering them in her work
Hello, I'm Dorcas Magbadelo, the designer behind Dorcascreates.
I'm an illustrator and designer/maker from the UK. I've been drawing and creating since I was little; but initially took a more academic path before coming back to my first love of creating.
I'm passionate about creating work that people can identify with - my artwork celebrate the beauty and strength of Black women in particular.
Each illustration starts as a black and white pen drawing before being scanned and digitally edited in Photoshop and Illustrator. I draw inspiration from the Black women I encounter in my day to day life - I love people watching, so I notice their hairstyles; their clothing, their jewellery - a vibrant headwrap, a cute tote bag, some statement sunglasses hastily thrown on during their commute, or a bright power suit, and just their overall vibe - everyday Black women living their lives. I like to take these women and place them center stage in my artwork; standing beautifully and proudly in the center of the image.
Although all I seem to wear is black(!); I love bold patterns and prints, which shows up a lot in my art work. You'll find a lot of black and white patterns offset by bold colours. When I'm not creating or sleeping, I'm usually putting my Cineworld card to good use, downing copious amounts of tea or sweating it out at a jazz concert.

Frequently asked questions
Care instructions
It's advised that you frame your art prints as soon as possible and try to keep away from direct sunlight.
Keep pins & earrings away from water and if possible store in a jewellery box.
A hack I learned to clean your pins / earrings is to use toothpaste! Dab a very small amount onto the pin, wipe off dirt or grime and clean with a damp cloth. Pins will be good as new :)
You can also use a jewellery polishing cloth to clean your earrings if you'd rather not go the minty fresh route mentioned above :)
