Rawk!

The seagull obsession continues.  It's worrying how similar to a seagull I am in some ways.

Will circle strangers for chips?  Check!

Will steal ice cream from unsuspecting strangers?  Check!

Will parade nonchalantly down any pier whilst secretly eyeing up ice cream and chips?  Check!

To see the sea

Seeing as the sun has finally got its hat on in the south east I though it was time to take that paddle in the sea...but it seemed like a lot of effort so I just let Gully do it instead.

Book covers

Whilst I'm getting on with other things I thought I'd display

 my entries for this years Puffin and Penguin design competitions.  

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 long

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.

The gelato thief

  We're off to the Bologna book fair this week and this is pretty much how I plan to look whilst I'm there.

             Just imagine me stealing gelato from an unsuspecting passer-by.

You can also see the excellent work of the Cambridge School of Art, Children's Book Illustration students at the fair so come see us.

s is for school

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.
