Merry Christmas everyone!

I'd like to wish everyone out there a very Merry Christmas and hope everyone has a great time - I know I will! (provided we don't have too many mince pies!). Many thanks again to all of you that have visited the site and I hope you have enjoyed viewing my work.

Christmas Tansha base colours added

Almost finished adding the base colours and effects to this years Christmas Tansha cartoon. Quite pleased with the out come so far. As long as it betters last years, that the main thing - progress!

Christmas Tansha inked and scanned

I've managed to complete all of the inking for the latest Christmas Tansha illustration. I've also added in some extra bits and pieces, including a very brave elf riding a giant bomb! Now I just need to apply all of the colours - easier said than done sometimes, maybe I shouldn't add so many characters!

Coming up to Christmas again!

Christmas is on its way again folks and I've been comissioned to create another busy piece for the back cover of this years Christmas issue of Tansha. My theme this year is 'Snowball Fight!'. I've all the initial pencils completed and the next stage is the inking. Watch this space for more!

Christmas Tansha completed

I've finished adding all of the colours and details to the Christmas Tansha cartoon and have one very happy client! Please take a look for yourself in the cartoon portfolio section.

Dog's Trust Open Day

The grand unveiling of the stocks for the annual Dog's Trust Salisbury open day, modelled here by our volunteer, Ross, who got slightly drenched on the day - what a good sport! Weather was an absolute beauty too and brought out all the good people to support the event!

Cartoon dog stocks for Dog's Trust, Salisbury

Creation of a large scale illustration for a set of stocks, commissioned by The Dog's Trust, Salisbury. The idea being that some poor soul get's put in these and then pelted with wet sponges! The inital sketch was done straight onto the boards in pencil and then painted before being sealed with varnish.

Village poster completed

I've finally completed work on another poster advertising a local village event, a hogroast with amongst other things, a jazz band. The jazz band, as well as a bucking bronco were created in a slightly different way to usual in the sense they were sketched initially and then outlined and filled using vectors.

New cartoons in the pipeline!

Currently working on some new illustrations for a local village event poster. I'm experimenting with using illustrations created entirely from vectors, allowing them to be much more versatile than the standard line art I usually create. Watch this space for more updates!
