Busy, busy, busy!

Good evening!

I must apologise for the lack of update! I have been very busy in the studio for the last few weeks with commissions. I am working on something rather exciting at the moment, having also been invited to contribute artwork for theming a charity ball. Since the concept is Alice in Wonderland, this means I must work very closely with the illustrations of Tenniel, which makes me very happy indeed!
These are some cropped images of the various projects I have been undertaking. The black and white illustrations will be unveiled in a grand way at the ball in November, so watch this space!

Papereciation (Paper Appreciation)

Good evening!

I was having quite a slow day yesterday, pottering through some commission roughs... that was until I received a brilliant phone call from a friend of mine (Che and then later Vinesh and AnnaLisa) advising me that my playing card design for Shelter had made it onto the pages of the daily London paper, the Metro. It was featured in an article alongside the winning design.



Thankyou very much to everyone who voted! You can take a little look at the actual spread here!

Heralding Harald

Good morning!

I will be posting some new personal work very shortly, but thought it was high time I bought some attention to the illustrative talents of a dear friend of mine- introducing Harald Donoghue.



His passion for fashion is quite obvious from his beautiful studies. But he doesn't just draw ladies, oh no. I can only see his portfolio moving from strength to strength.

That's all for now, but I shall be back with work of my own doing later on!

The Letter B

Good afternoon!

I have been working once again on a little piece for a Flickr illustrative collaboration. This piece, the letter B, is my contribution to an alphabet book for children aged between three and six. I may add more to it should I have time, but can you find all of the things beginning with B? Good luck- there's a few trickier ones in there too!

I have lots of commissioned work on my to-do list at the moment, so I will try and post updates for a couple of those projects very soon. Hopefully I will eventually get round to posting updates on those long awaited narrative roughs, and perhaps even the leprechaun concept images from a little while ago!

UGG in da Club

Good morning!

This duo form part of my very last-minute entry to the Shelter House of Cards competition.



Since the brief was to design the 8 of clubs, my mind (addled with cold and flu medicine, cough cough) started working around the idea of Cavepeople- the 'original Clubbers'. So here they are, bopping away.

...I do love a good pun.



Update: Voting opens on the 22nd of August here so if you fancy voting for my design, the code is DH8O158. Merci beaucoup!

Undead Bar Staff

Good evening!

This is part of a piece I have been working on about the Undead. I will post the more as we approach publication day! Hopefully it just goes to show that Zombies come in all shapes and sizes.
I am aware of lots of little problems with it that need tweaking, but I hope you like her regardless!

...and here's one that I played about with in Photoshop (please note- I don't normally colour digitally so it's still a skill I need to develop!)

'Ave a Banana!

Good morning!

Everyone likes a cute monkey, right? I believe that the humble Baboon is commonly overlooked in terms of cuteness. Sure, it's not conventional cuteness... but as long as they aren't screeching (that sight is pretty fearsome!) I think they are pretty sweet.
