Piles of Pancakes
Here are a few scenes (text to be added) from a Children's book/iPad app I've been working on called, 'Piles of Pancakes'. I'm near the end of this project and am really interested to see the final iPad version of it as my illustrations will be animated and interactive.

Hello!
I've been a very busy bunny hence why there hasn't been any blog updates recently. I would put bits and pieces from the various commissions I'm working on up on here, but contracts, copyright and all that sort of guff means it's probably not a good idea. So I thought I'd put up a birthday card I did for my Granddad's 90th.

It's all kicking off!
Sincere lack of new work on the blog is due to a couple of big commissions I'm working on at the moment. More info soon....

Dragon Slayer
A couple of characters I'm developing. Created more of a background than I usual do which is something I'm trying to get better at.

My first editorial illustration
Here is my first editorial that was in the Business Reporter supplement in the Sunday Telegraph.
This was good fun to do, especially the initial process of coming up with a fun idea for this rather dry subject. I definitely need to refine my editorial style of work though. I automatically started to do children's picture book type work which isn't really appropriate for a business supplement editorial. All good practice though.

Fashion Illustrations
Have been doing some commissioned work for fashion designer and good friend Edward Lord.
Had alot of fun doing these, learnt alot too. It was nice to work abit more spontaneously and not fussing over ever little detail. Definitely something I'll keep in mind for future work.

King Arthur
Keeping with the whole drawing for a younger audience theme I did this book cover. Was looking through my work and noticed that I'll usual draw a character but never really develop much of a background behind. Doing these sort of book covers will help me in that aspect of my work I hope.

Great Success!
Well I've been with them for a couple of weeks but it's taken a while to sort out the paperwork and all that kind of guff. But I now have an agent in the form of Advocate Art, hope it's a long and fruitful relationship.
Animals
Have been practicing drawing different types of animals for a younger audience. Started with the more exotic variety then had a go at some farmyard type critters.
Dave the Cat
Dave is a character I like to draw every now and again. He is an absolute tool which is one of the reasons why I like drawing him so much.
