It's here!
Just in time for Christmas, the iPad story i worked on was released in iTunes app store today. It’s a lovely story written by the people at Ink Robin, about a little girl and her three unusual best friends. There are lots of interactive bits that spin, pop, and go ‘Weeeeeeeeee!’. It will keep little people (and not see little people, ahem,) amused for a while. You can buy the...

Hello Autumn.
I’m not great as the seasons shift from sunny to overcast with the smell of Autumn in the air. I’m at my happiest when i can smell Spring arriving. At the moment i can smell coffee. Strong coffee. I’m at my desk, my pencils are very sharp (see right), and I’m surrounded by a mountain of scribbles that will only grow higher. I’m unable to post what I’m working...

Edible Artwork
Anyone who knows me would tell you that i love a good piece of cake. Cake is vital fuel to help my creative thought process. Many an illustration has been hatched as I’ve munched on a skinny stem ginger muffin (or a not-so-skinny-should-serve-8 carrot cake from Costco). You can imagine how my eyes lit up when i saw 2 of my favourite things coupled together, cute quirky monsters made from...

Freakishly hot October days!
A very quick illustration inspired by the weather today (turn a pea from previous drawing yellow and et voila! Mr sun enjoying a coca lola!) I’m indoors scribbling but the sun is out with his sun visor on. Happy Hot October, UK! P.s - I’ll draw another next week when it dumps it down with snow…

Like 2 peas in a pod.
I had the pleasure of working on a little anniversary commission this week. Looks like the peas are in a pod tent which is quite appropriate as i believe the ‘2 little peas’ are indeed spending their anniversary camping. Happy Anniversary to K&M!x

If only i could afford a Wacom Inkling!! But i have my own inkling… that i won’t be able to for a wee while. :o/ Also loving the Buddha Bowl.

Blue skies above, gazebo poles tucked under each arm, a fun day was ahead. Little Fox Market was nesting cosily behind The Fox and Hounds pub in Rickmansworth and packed with lots of interesting and unique stalls. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and said ‘Hello!’ and to my 2 helpers Hannah and Phil. Though it did get soggy in the afternoon, even with a slightly leaky gazebo,...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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