new books
Back to work finally. Remarkably, I have a couple of days with nothing marked in my diary so it’s back to normal illustration! Woohoo! I have a few projects to catch up on that were booked in ages ago and need some tlc.
Recent things.
1. I got some advance copies… so I took some pretty pictures.

Getting published
Hey everyone,
I’ve just added a new page about getting published. It answers a few common questions that people have about how to submit work and what’s expected.

Here’s another one…
#2 Folios

Starting out #1

I feel pretty privileged to get to see the work of people at all different stages of their careers – some just beginning, others well and truly on the way but perhaps just [...]

space to breathe and think
Here’s something brilliant about being an illustrator. I’m doing development for my Massive Book at the moment. It’s called The Collector as a working title but I think that’s about to change. The thing is – the story crosses between worlds, civilisations, even realities. So that means envisaging everything to do with these places. If [...]
