Granny is Baking!

Granny is busy baking and has inspired me to bake too (must check the oven in a mo). She also can be seen on the door of my website welcoming everyone in. The illustration was for HMIR internal coms this month.

Penguins

I've been a bit busy lately with various things, but here is an illustration i did last month of some penguins enjoying the April showers. Not that we had many! What a beautiful sunny April it was here in London. :o)

Terribly British

A little sketch i did for a client that afterwards i took off in a direction for myself as a colouring exercise. most of my work is defined by an outline but sometimes it's nice not to use one. I enjoyed colouring this by working with the original pencil sketch for a change.

Belated Valentines

This is something i was going to send to a few friends for Valentines Day but didn't finish it in time because i was too busy. Better late than never i guess!

Bubble blowing

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.
