Tom Thumb

Hot on the heels of last year's John Henry - Hammerin' Hero, a few preview pages from a new book for the same series.

March Update

Wow, here's me actually remembering to post something.

Been busy with character designs and a sample spread for a very exciting job, as well as the work-in-progress portfolio pieces you can see here. They're doubling up nicely as character design/concept illustrations for Roof Monsters, which is coming along pretty well. One of the trickiest bits has been getting it's child stars right, both as written personalities and visually (the Roof Monsters themselves are a doddle).

My other half/writing partner is not at all happy with the girl's current hairstyle, or indeed the shape of her head in general. I know better than to argue, so a makeover is surely imminent...


More about Roof Monsters some other time. I'll leave you with these process shots of The Idiot Trolls. I'm sure there's a picture book brewing in there...

Bloody Godawful Bands

A quick plug for my other blog: Bloody Godawful Bands, in which I'm working through a list (as long as Mr Fantastic's arm, and ever stretching) of band names amassed through the years, illustrating the specimens that those names might suggest.

Above are: Fight! Deathmen! Fight!
...and below: The Crimson Wrists.
