Dragons.

Tis' the season of Royalness and Summer Fairs. Tomorrow the doodle shop is at the Eastcote Gardens Jubilee Summer Fair, where i will probably be scribbling at the stall.

Ummm, i haven't done any drawings of the Queenie, but i have drawn a dragon. He has clocked off his fire breathing duties for the weekend and is on his way to his first Jubilee party.

I hope you all have a great one! x

Interactive scribbles!

I'm super excited and honoured to have been chosen by the lovely people over at Ink Robin to work with them on an interactive children's story next month. You can see titles they have already brought to life here at inkrobin.com . The story should be available for download on the iPad later in the year.

Edible Artwork

Anyone who knows me would tell you that i love a good piece of cake. Cake is vital fuel to help my creative thought process. Many an illustration has been hatched as I've munched on a skinny stem ginger muffin (or a not-so-skinny-should-serve-8 carrot cake from Costco).

You can imagine how my eyes lit up when i saw 2 of my favourite things coupled together, cute quirky monsters made from cake. The creator of the cake is talented bakey-cakey lady, Stacey, whom i had the pleasure of having coffee with a few weeks ago. After dreaming of owning her own bakery for as long as she could remember, on April the 10th Whoo's Bakery was opened.

If the sight of cake makes your eyes widen and gives you what can only be described as Wallace and Gromit 'cracking cheese' fingers, then head on over to Whoo's Bakery!

Busy bee

This months HMRC illo has a summery feel to it and shows a happy beekeeper with his ginger cat.

Lots to do for the next couple of months but unfortunately can't post anything i'm working on at the moment. Many late nights scribbling and lots of coffee are involved, I'm keeping bee-sy!

Happy Valentines!

Happy Valentines to you all! I hope everyone has some love heading their way today.

Above is a loosely based valentines illustration i did this month for HMRC. x

Hello little tiger!

Say hello to Max the little baby tiger, drawn with a few new arrivals in mind! Max also has a twin sister Molly with a pink dummy (soother/pacifier) and pin.

Owl wears his heart on his sleeve.

The month for hearts, cupids and declarations of love is almost upon us once again. I've been drawing lots of little characters lately and the little owl above is one of them. He'll appear on a small range of valentines cards and postcards in the Folksy and Etsy shop next week.

Interview for Frankly

I am very honoured to have been chosen to be featured in the online magazine 'Frankly'. Thanks to the editor Emily for writing such a lovely introduction to the interview. She is also lovely.

Happy 2012!

Happy 2012 to you all! Only 17 days after the event, but better late than never. I hope you all had a great holiday over the festive season and 2012 has begun with sparkles!

There are lots of great things ahead to scribble, and I'm looking forward to some interesting projects which i hope to post in the months ahead.

Merry Christmas!

Before i start 'zipping up my boots, and going back to my roots' (in Yorkshire), I'd like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy new year, with lots of laughter and scribbles.

Thank you for your continued interest in my work and for the lovely messages i receive about it. I appreciate and treasure them all.

Christmas wishes
