This will be the last for a while. Although there are about 14 illustrations to go with it, so I'm going to be working on it for the next week or so, if not longer... This book is called 'Fey' and is about a young boy called Dai. It's set in Wales, not too far… Continue reading Another cover…

To give you a sneak peak I am going to pop the first chapter below. This is a children's book for… Continue reading Tunnels… A kid’s novel

Tunnels is having its final edit and the cover is complete. I'm just working on the small illustrations for the inside. As you can see the book has got some historical aspects... the plague doctor makes an appearance. And the cover is illustrated. I like it and I think it will work well... The image… Continue reading Finished and ready…

Yep... I did it. Finally finished the digital painting... It took nine and a half hours. And I loved it so much that I have uploaded to Society 6 and Zippi (the UK version of Society 6). Have a look-see. I love the mugs. 'Here Be Dragons' is awaiting a proof and that one will… Continue reading Finished
