Sneak Peek!

Phewww! I have just finished the artwork for a series of 4 educational books and the client has kindly allowed me to give you a sneak peek. I am now working on a very exciting book which is taking me in another direction completely but I am under strict orders to keep this one firmly under wraps.

New Percy Pig Illustrations

I always start a new Percy Pig design with a rough sketch. I have been illustrating Percy for over seventeen years now so I feel that drawing him is almost like using my own handwriting.

Once we have agreed on the layout/content of the image I redraw the sketch on layout with a Pentel Sign Pen. M&S then use this line drawing to create the final computer artwork.

I have been having a little office tidy this afternoon and came across these random sketches.

Forty Winks

I discovered ready to roll gingerbread at the supermarket this weekend. It kept my boys quiet for half an hour!

New Books

I am working on a few publishing projects at the moment but am having to keep them under my hat. Bloomsbury have kindly given me permission to show a few snippets from a series of books that I am producing for them at the moment. More soon...

The arrangements in our home never stay the same for long!

These are some current favourite kitchen corners.

I first spotted the glass pear (just seen) on the brilliant Roddy&Ginger Blog.
