elephant and croc

Apologies for my absence of late but I've been knee deep in colour seperations and so here are elephant and croc instead.  I did these as part of my portfolio and hope to find a story for them both soon.

So I am returned from Bologna with two fantastic new books (the purse strings were tightened this year), a Simone Rea poster which he actually painted on and signed hence is now my most treasured possession (and which I subsequently smudged with my thumb), a cold, and a body mass of 90% pizza.

Alas I have no new work but here are some seagulls from before I went.

This is the latest in my alphabet. Yes we had to Google the difference between school and shoal.  The rest of the alphabet is on hold whilst I draw seagulls.

Here's a little close up of the fishes.

The alphabet continues.  My friend Lara ( lararobinsonillustrates.blogspot.co.uk ) has complained that L is always a bit rubbish in alphabet books so I've tried to make something particularly swish on her behalf.
