Still working on the kids book... Now it is a VW camper. I have wondered if my illustrations are too detailed. But they are how I draw - I just hope they go with the writing... Sorry the photo is bad but we have storms here and it is effecting the light badly.

It’s here
The book has made it - right on time the proof has hit the mat. There ae issues already but they are all easy fixes. I'm surprised it is as small as it is but happy that it is a good-looking book. Now it is with the editor - let's see what she makes of… Continue reading It’s here
Illustrating
I have started to illustrate one of the three childrens books that I have written. Oddly, each was for a competition and all got to 'almost' stage and then fell to the wayside. So I thought - why not publish them...? The first is with the editor at the moment and she is hacking it… Continue reading Illustrating

If you were wondering… Continue reading The portrait…
Unidentified Fungus

Try, Try, Again
I'm having another go and it is looking good... Sorry about the quality of the photo - we are having thunderstorms here and it is a bit dull in the workshop.
‘The Shallow Sea’
It's almost ready to go for a proof print and after the disaster of yesterday I am happy to say that the cover is coming along well... What do you think?
