This is something that I did over the summer but forgot to post up - An illustration for a short story about a parquet floor and the old man who looks after it. It was a really sweet story and I enjoyed the challenge of using a very limited colour palette.

Also! Here are some nice photographs of my own personal tent!

Hello! This is one for the tent lovers! Fieldcandy's website has just gone live and on it you will find a wide range of tents covered in all sorts of nifty designs and patterns! Including one that I did..Go have a gander! 

The address is: www.fieldcandy.com. Also have a look at this!: http://www.fieldcandy.com/pages/movie

Lots and lots of dogs! This was this weeks project and it was really fun! I experimented with lots of different kinds of dog characters and rediscovered drawing in pencil! I really like the way the pencil line is all smudgy - I think it makes the dogs look more cuddly than they would if they were inked. Hurrah for happy accidents! I think I might try reworking my cat book using pencil outlines just to see how it looks....

These are two double page spreads from my new children's book "Oscar the Dancing Cat", about a cat who likes to dance. This story is the direct result of a lethal combination of strictly come dancing and too much tea.

Hello! Ok, some part of me doesn't seem to understand how this blog thing works! I know I should upload my work as I make it but instead what I like to do is abandon my blog for ages, make lots of work and then upload it all at once! I think it makes me feel very productive! Anyway this is one of those uploading times and I'm going to stick up all my latest pictures for your enjoyment!

This first picture is Part One of a four part story about a boy who falls into a pond.

Last night I went to the launch of a book by Katie Treggiden who created the blog "Confessions of a Design Geek". The book is full of interviews by creatives of all kinds and it includes one with me! To make things even better the book was reviewed on the Design Week blog and they used one of my images!
