Description This is the second illustration in my West End Women collection.. this is the fabulous Samantha Barks.. I decided to depict her on one of the famous red London buses to represent how shes going places and chose Westminster bridge not only to incorporate more emphasis on London but i think its an image held in regards with the role of Nancy.. Very happy with this outcome and think as the first sister piece to the Louise Dearman illustration they fit very well!! β€” with Samantha Barks.

I have also heard from Samantha herself saying she loves it and currently has it as her phone wallpaper so I'm well chuffed. No greater compliment than that!! x

Can I possibly use this in a book I am making for Sam? It would be amazing to include it with other people's drawings/paintings!Β

Love how you have you included Samantha's journey in this

thanks very much, I like to throw in as many details as possible, little things that may go un-noticed. I sent this to Samantha while she was filming les mis and she thanked me and made it her phone wallpaper (needless to say I was delighted) glad you like it xx

you're very welcome
It's so cool, I've probably not found all the details yet
You just tweeted and she saw it in first try? That's so lucky!
It's so cool, she has seen it!

I adore her dress. And I agree--she's definitely going places! I like how you incorporated the Eponine attire into her outfit

This is gorgeous! It must feel absolutely amazing to know that Samantha herself loves this - and there's no reason why she wouldn't, anyway, this looks so good!

It's crazy seeing her so well known on the west end. I remember when she was in Manx operatics, me being her only fan at the time haha. So glad more people like her now~!

I am so glad that she will star in the Les Mis movie! I've seen her on the recording of the 25th Anniversary Les Mis concert and her On My Own was incredible.
Great work on the picture by the way. I immediately recognized her even without looking on the title or description. And Samatha certainly knows how to appreaciate a great piece of art !
