This is a piece I created quite a while ago. It has packed it's bags and is currently waiting to go into an exhibition of University College Falmouth Graduates works at the Illustration Cupboard in London.

DONE TO DEATH
I didn't just create the Cockerel in the previous post. I also did a series of 9 two-colour prints on 300gsm Fabrianno Stock. The piece is called Done To Death.
I really wanted to create an alphabet of animals but it has been done by so many people, so I thought I'd approach it in a slightly different way. In the end, I drew the skulls of the animals instead. I've taken liberties with a couple of them (cough*UNICORN*cough) but overall, I did a lot of research to find the right skulls for the right letters. I hope you enjoy.

I SCREEN, YOU SCREEN, WE ALL SCREEN FOR MY SCREEN
For Christmas, my lovely lady paid for a long weekend to Bristol which included a Screen Printing workshop at the wonderful Snap Gallery. It's my first attempt at the process and I bloody loved it. Hopefully you'll be seeing a lot more of it. This was a simple one-colour piece which I hurriedly drew in around ten minutes.
NUMBER IS UP
This was a simple little commission I did for Nursery World. They asked me to draw a 3 and some specific images. That is what I did. To be perfectly honest, I am not entirely sure what the article is about.

A BONE TO PIC
I had no reason to do this but I wanted to. It has no context, no point, no hidden meaning. Just two boney individuals scrapping with one another:
AVAST!
Scholastic commissioned me to create this A2 fold-out Pirate's Treasure Map for their magazine, Nursery Education Plus. I had very little constraints...they just asked me to include a few specific items, but other than that I could do whatever I liked. Here it is:
MORE THAN 'I CAN' BEAR
I recently created around 70 images for a couple of different activity packs for Language Development in Children. I worked with Studio Conran for the charity I CAN and they are available for purchase here from Babbling Babies and Toddler Talk (Click on the titles to purchase from Amazon). Rather than bombard you with images, I thought I'd just wet your appetite with one illustration of a Bear. Enjoy
A MAG OF AMMO
Apparently Christmas seemed to dominate my existence in December, so I've been neglecting my posts. Here is an illustration I was asked to do for Ammo Magazine, an awesome little Illustration publication. I was allowed to do anything, so Ammo was all I had for inspiration. The piece is called Cowboy Vs. Indian:

OLD SCHOOL
I was recently asked by my old school to create a Christmas Card for them. IT had to be both Christmassy, and relating to their celebrations of the School's 50 Year Anniversary (turns out these two concepts are pretty hard to combine. Here is the design
