More, more, more!

Project 365 is still going strong... here's the illustrations for the 4th and 5th!

4th January 2013...

I've been working on this particular project for a long, long time. It takes a back seat while I do paid work, so I don't have nowhere near enough time to do what I'd want with it. Here's some development sketches of the main character - it's pretty hard to see as the pencils are so light but you get the idea. 

5th January 2013... and this cool dude is Timmy! He's the protagonist for a new book I'm illustrating - I can't give much away just yet but we'll be seeing more from Timmy for sure!

In other news, I had my first blog comment! It made my day! 

Ostriches are fun to draw...

Here's picture 3 for Project 365... it's an ostrich! Can't get better then that!

Project 365 - 2013!

Inspired by a close friend I have decided to start a PROJECT 365 but with illustrations rather then photographs. 

Using the 'at least one illustration a day' rule, I will be uploading an illustration for each new day in the year 2013. An illustration counts as a sketch or a fully coloured masterpiece!

As my new year's resolution this year was to work harder, then hopefully I shouldn't have a problem!

To kick it off, here are my first 2 days!

above... JANUARY 1st 2013... preliminary sample sketch for children's book...

and below... JANUARY 2nd 2013... 30 second lamb sketch.

Enjoy!

Merry Xmas! Happy Holidays!

When I wasn't working, this year I took some time off to relax, think about life and catch up with family. I did get a rather fetching knitted jumper, with leaping reindeer on it, so all in all 2012 was a great Xmas!

Lana Purcell's new book is coming along rather nicely, here's a sneak peek for all those eager to see what's going on. And I must admit I had several green smoothies over the holidays - to boost my energy levels!

2012 saw the start of Alley Girls - a cool brand for 'tweens' which I illustrated, but we haven't seen the last of Alley Girls yet... more exciting projects in the pipeline means they have new friends to be illustrated too!

There are plenty more projects on the go, so be sure to follow, add or google + to see more updates and work in progress!

Merry Xmas!

Spooky Tees

I've been mega busy the last few days, and my work couldn't be more diverse! Here's some more sneaky shots of the work in progress for 'Offends my Eyes' - colour to follow soon...

Find your inner Teddy!

The Adventures of Meddy Teddy is a 21 part children's book series about a young bear who learns meditation and yoga from the great bear master high in the mountain temple.

I was very excited to be a part of this fantastic project, here are some sneaky peeks of the illustrations before the book hits the market!

Please let me know what you think! For more details (and to pre-order the book, of course) you can visit MeddyTeddy's website here
