Hello!

Hi people, I have a new tumblr, as well as my trusty blog. Its a bit different as it features more sketchbooky watercolour work, and I update it daily....(or at least I paint daily, and update it when I have the time!)

Life Drawing

Pattern

I'm setting up some new stock for my online shop at the moment...here are some patterned postcards

Men

Easter Card

Sidle Zine

I painted this image for the 1st issue of Sidle Zine.

The brief was to illustrate a contemporary topic you feel strongly about.

I based this on the hefty salaries of footballers, compared to those of surgeons, and nurses in particular...

Sea Otter

It was my friend's birthday recently, and she loves otters, so I drew her this. I hardly ever use pencil, so it was quite a change for me.

I definitely would like a pet otter now please.

Christmas Cards!

I know its early, but....I have been drawing up a set of bird based Christmas cards. They were a lot of fun to draw, here they are
