Cheeky Chappy

I did this before the holiday season, a design for a friends homemade chutney. It wasn't used in the end but never mind. Thought i would let the cheeky fellow make a public appearance. ;o)

Manners Matter

Last year i was very busy working on a project for Capstone Publishers. I had to illustrate a set of books written by Lori Mortensen for younger readers, about manners and how we should use them in everyday situations.

A lot of work, but when copies turned up in a box last week it was well worth it.

Sole Fishing

An illustration i did for HMIR internal coms. Those pesky fish eh?

Little Red

A character design i did for Little Red Riding Hood some time ago.

Eric by Shaun Tan.

I absolutely love this story, Eric by one of my favourite children's book illustrators, Shaun Tan. I'd seen this story as part of a collection 'tales from outer suburbia', but this week on my travels to the magical playlounge, i found my favourite story was flying solo. It made me giggle in the shop so couldn't leave without it.

Sir Hen-ry Boc-Boc

A bit different to how i usually colour stuff but it was just a sketch not really being used for anything.

Hooper

Meet Hooper. He's a little bull terrier character of mine with a big noggin. He likes chewing on grandmas oversized 'uni-slipper' and barking at shadows. He sleeps under the stairs in a cozy corner and dreams of unearthing dinosaur bones as he snores.

Ginger Toms

A few sketches of a little cat i was drawing for a story before Christmas.

Happy 2011!

Hope you all enjoyed Christmas and the New Year celebrations! 2011 got off to a busy start for me and I've taken up Yoga to stretch out after long days sat at the computer. Hopefully it will keep the 'Computer hump' at bay.
