Sam and the Robots

It's all go this month. I spent the last year working on lots of great things and they have been launched within weeks of each other. A childhood dream came true when I was asked to draw a ladybird book back in late 2011. This month it was finally published.  Not quite the usual style, but it is very colourful and 'robotty'! Below (and not in order as I'm posting via the blogger app) are a few pages from the book. 

Mountain Tales of Norway book illustration.

Over the Christmas period and earlier this year, I was illustrating a book, Mountain Tales of Norway by Margaret McAllister. It includes 2 stories, the first about a farmer and his wife and the second about a woodcutter who has quite a bad troll infestation in his log cabin! It is published by Pearson and available on Amazon.

Below are a few initial character sketches and final images.
