People from The Town Part 1

I have been painting a series of images based on a strange atmosphere in a town; something is happening there with the silent arrival of a fishing boat, but no-one is sure what it is.

Christmas Carols

My work was organising a Christmas Carol event and asked me to draw the front cover for the song booklet. I was also asked to do a spot illustration of a mouse for a page.

And here's my workplace, it's a lovely little independant cinema!
