Gig Posters

Image
I designed a few more posters for some upcoming gigs. If you're in Cornwall - check it out!

Diplodocus

Image
Today I drew a dinosaur...

Scenery

Image
A few quick scenes from an app project - Pretty colours!

Human Beings

Image
Sometimes I forget you can draw humans as well as animals.  So I've drawn some people. I really wish there was a story linking this lot...

Illustration Friday 'Explore'

Image
I really fancied drawing a purple jungle. www.illustrationfriday.com

Puppy

Image
Heres a little guy I designed a while ago for Illustration Friday. (  Illustration Friday 'Lonely' ) I think he might have a story in him yet!

Fox

Image
This is Fox. He's a character from a story I'm working on at the mo - Do you think he should have rosy red cheeks? I can't decide!

Furniture

Image
I was sorting out my desktop when I came across this furniture I designed for an old uni project.  I basically designed a super wonky house. Who needs perspective anyway? 

E-book Characters

Image
Having lots of fun working on initial character sketches for my e-book. Stay tuned!

Illustration Friday 'Sky'

Image
Here's a funky sky scene and a rabbit wearing a scarf. www.illustrationfriday.com

Sketch Book Scribbles

Image
I spend most of my time drawing in sketch books, so I thought I'd share a bit of what actually goes on.  Here are some farm-yard animal scribbles:

Bonfire

Image
I originally designed this for a poster- but I thought I'd share the illustration too!

Suburbs

Image
I've been busy beavering away on a bunch of backgrounds and some scenery. Anywho, here's a suburban street. Enjoy?!

Hide and Seek

Image
After a super long break 3rd year is finally here (ou er!) So I thought I'd upload some illustrations from the summer, heres a few from a little story about Fox and his forest friends. They're playing a quick game of hide and seek, as of course, animals do... I really enjoyed using such a wacky palette on these pictures, I think this term might just have to be about colour colour colour! 

Oh Deer

Bioblitz Map

I've designed a quick map for the first ever 'Tremough Bioblitz' ( an exciting event where you have 24 hours to count as many species as possible).  I also designed a few extra spot illustrations.

Macmillan Prize

Image
Excitingly, my children's picture book 'Kitty in the City' received Highly Commended in this years Macmillan Prize. Unexpected, but a nice surprise! What's more, my flat-mate Ella won 3rd Prize with her book 'No Such Thing'. So we decided to embark upon the long old journey from Cornwall up to London. Here are some snaps from the private view: Today was also our second year final deadline. Another year over. Bonkers I hear you shout? Well, what's even more bizarre is that this morning, for the first time ever, we managed to lock ourselves out of the flat. We were 4 shoe-less, money-less, phone-less, illustration students with a deadline. It was a bit of a catastrophe! All I can say is hallelujah for spare keys. Just to round it all off nicely, it is my flat-mates 21st birthday.  Happy birthday Kate ! Anyway, here are another few spreads from 'Kitty in the City', as promised.

Birthday Cards

Image
Apparently this cat themed co-ordination wasn't pre-planned...  Am I really that predictable?!  Lovely birthday cards from  Katherine,   Becky,   Ella  and  Kate !

Life Drawing

Image
More of a fashion illustration angle. I had fun making pointy people.

Sneak Peek

Image
I've been a little quiet recently, but for a good reason! I've been beavering away on my Children's book. Its called 'Kitty In The City'.  He's a cool cat!

Barcelona Map

Image
Following a recent (and brilliant) visit to Barcelona, I decided to design a basic 'touristy' map of the city.  I had some fun doing the spot illustrations and tried a bit of digital / traditional collage. I love paper cut!

Toast

Image
Free gig if you're in Falmouth? www.duelingkazoos.com

Bird Books

Image
Today I finally got round to making these two sketch books. My sister gave me the beautiful bird paper as a christmas pressie, thanks Kate!

Exploring Everest

Image
A children's information package about Mt Everest.  (Its a collapsible mountain in a box!)  This was quite a  challenge to illustrate!
