The Nunnington Worm

2011-09-30T19:24:00.001+01:00

I just finished these illustrations for the National Trust. They are based on the legend of the Nunnington Worm, an evil dragon which terrorised a village before being slain by a knight and his dog who then died when they accidentally ingested some of the dragon's poisonous blood!

Sticker Designs for the National Trust

2011-08-29T21:29:00.000+01:00

The National Trust commissioned me to design some children's stickers for Little Moreton Hall in Cheshire. I based them on stone carvings of a greyhound and a dragon which are part of the building.

I entered this sketch a contest to paint the hoarding for the new Anthropologie store in Edinburgh. It's all a bit random but I like it. I might even paint it on my wall at home...

Retro Sketchbook Pages 1

2010-02-24T16:03:00.001Z

For a long time I didn't do much else but fill sketchbooks. These pages are from circa 1998. I didn't like them much when I did them. Now they jump out at me when I look through this book, though the flourescent yellow doesn't reproduce well here. I'll post some more soon.

Norway

2010-02-17T18:37:00.000Z

This is an editorial illustration for an article about Andoya, Norway. I'm still working on it though...

More Bad Mice

Here are two spreads that I did for the picture book I am working on - It's an adaptation of "The Tale of Two Bad Mice" by Beatrix Potter.

Another Book Cover

2010-02-02T15:45:00.000Z

This is a silk-screened book cover that I did last year. It was part of a project where students from Glasgow School of Art designed covers for books in the library of the University of the West of Scotland in Paisley. Before I took it out, this book had not been taken out of the library for 20 years!

Book covers

2010-01-26T15:13:00.004Z

I made these book covers for my sister and brother-in-law for christmas. They were originally going to be silk screen prints but in the end I printed them digitally although using the same process as for silk screen - using separations which I coloured digitally.

"The Tale of Two Bad Mice" work in progress...

2010-01-08T23:15:00.004Z

This is for the scene where the mice, Tom Thumb and Hunca Munca first spot the delicious food on the dining room table. In the original it's ham, lobsters, fish and fruit. But in my version I've changed it into an amazing tea with big cakes, buns, trifle and biscuits. (maybe strawberries and cream too...) Shame it all turns out to be fake.

cakes!

2010-01-07T12:47:00.006Z

I am still here...!

2009-12-20T21:46:00.004Z

Some more images from the dummy book I am making - an adaptation of "The Tale of Two Bad Mice" by Beatrix Potter... I'm trying to get this finished before christmas...

this is what I am doing today...

Freddie

2009-12-06T19:02:00.003Z

I'm doing some top-secret christmas things, so I've cheated and uploaded some illustrations I did back in May! They were for a Waterstones competition to illustrate Julia Donaldson's new picture book "Freddie and the Fairy"

2009-12-04T17:03:00.003Z

I did this when I should of been making the tea.

The Tale of Two Bad Mice

2009-12-02T13:40:00.002Z

I'm working on a young children's picture book version of "The Tale of Two Bad Mice" by Beatrix Potter. This is as far as I am with it now - using post-it notes to work out how to pace the story through the pages of the book! I've still got to sort out some sections before I start on the actual artwork for the book...
ps I have been reliably informed that 'scrabbled' isn't a word - what do you think?

this is what i did yesterday
