Weasels book launch!

My first book, Weasels, is being launched at Heffers Bookshop in Cambridge next week! It's a signing event with three other incredibly talented Cambridge illustrators, Marta Altes, Nicola Killen and Courtney Dicmas, on Thursday 21st March at 6.30pm. It should be a fabulous evening not only because you'll be surround by excellent children's books but also because the wine is free. Everyone's welcome so if you fancy getting your hands on one of the first copes of my whimsical tale of woodland creatures, machinery and megalomania come down and I'll happily draw a little weasels in the front of your book.

If you can't make it then never fear you can still get a copy of Weasels here or here and at many other wonderful booksellers.

Around the World in 80 Days

I've had a yen to do some chapter book-esque illustration for a while so I've had a shot at a few images from Around the World in 80 Days and in the process I have discovered there a few finer things to draw then elephants and moustache.

Robotic Aids to the Holiday Season Christmas cards.

I hope you're all feeling festive because it's that time of year again. I can't think of anything more Christmassy than machinery so this year my Christmas cards are robot themed. Sometimes we all need a bit of assistance over the Christmas period so I've designed 3 Robotic Aids for the Holiday Season! Each card features a robot to help you through a specific festive conundrum.

In case you're not my my Christmas cards list you can purchase these robotic wonders here in my Etsy shop. 

And here's a picture I did for my nephew because he is AMAZING.

Unveiling of the Heffers panels.

As part of the Cambridge Festival of Illustration I was asked to illustrate one of four panels outside Heffers bookshop in Cambridge. The other three were done by the scarily talented Marta Altes, Becky Palmer and Matty Long. 

These things are huge, 60x40 inches, which gave me a bit of trouble and for a while my image was renamed the Giant Picture of DOOM but now that it's on the wall it was certainly worth it. Esepcially since after the unveiling a family went walked past the panels and stopped to look. The boy said that mine was his favourite and the girl spent ages trying to correctly pronouce 'frothy coffee'. My work is done.

Here's my finished image and a few choice photos of the unveiling:
