ANNOUNCEMENT-NEW WEBSITE!

So I've finally got round to renewing my website! I hope you can take the time to have a look around and let me know what you think. There is a built in blog there so once I'm fully sure about the new blog I will post here to let you know when I will no longer be using this one. In the meantime you can keep checking on my website for updates to my blog there.

Flip Flap books

One of a series of books I completed for "Really Decent books" a couple of years ago.

oldie

Found this I did a few years back-it's pretty weird I know but I like the colours and the humour :0)

Coming along

I'm feeling rather lacklustre at the mo'. Weather is awful and I'm lacking in a real job for the first time in ages! That never bodes well with me-I thrive on having lots of work on and when I don't I feel despondent. I am however trying to develop up some new work. the tourists are coming along very slowly. I'm sure if a bright, shiny, new job comes along it will whip me into shape for finishing this self promo project :0))

Inspired

With the recent trip to Prague in the fat distant past I have been inspired to do some work based around the trip. Working on little tourists!!

Prague break

Been away for a short break to Prague which was excellent! A must see city :0))

nice weather for....

Yep! It's raining again as usual :0(

WIP

Worked on this little image but I am not finished yet. Quite often I get to a certain stage on a piece then leave it for a while. When I come back to it later, I see things that could improve so we'll see how it goes :0)

Giveaway

Toppsta are doing a giveaway for the Finding First Animals book. Head over there and good luck!

For science! WIP

We have an ongoing interest in Prof Cox and science in general here and together with daughter studying mega serious science subjects at uni, it makes for some science related work :0))

Eureka!

Fruity goodness

lemon gif

Trying out another gif for you :0)

Fairy

I quickly animated this as a test. It's always exciting to see your work animated even if it's only a tiny bit :0) Like magic!!

Wip -under the sea

Working on an underwater scene, it's one of my favourite themes :0)

new book published!

I received these in the post on saturday-wonderful to see it published at last!

otter

After seeing "Finding Dory" I had to draw one of those cute lickle otters of my own :0))

picnic

Been doodling about with ideas. Little sketch and worked up piece for you :0))

Pond life

a spread from one of the MY Little World  I spy books.

samples

Been working on my own projects. Mermaid and Princess!

frogs and tigers

At last I got some feedback on work. These are a couple more self initiated pieces I've been working on-will get back to them again later and make any further additions.

a little friend

add in a little friend :0)

lounge frog

Still waiting on client feedback so yesterday I sketched and drew up this little lounge frog :0)
Might add some more details to this today. Always nice to do some self initiated work for a change :0)

flowery pattern

I am working on a couple of projects right now but on slo' mo' waiting on client feedback.

Here's a little summery flowers pattern :0))

back to reality

Whoops! forgot to say I'm back to work as usual.
If you follow my Facebook and Instagram you will know this anyway.
I am working my way to the end of a long ongoing job and starting a new one!

holiday time!

So it's come round to this time of year for me-holidays! Yeah! Sun, sea, food, drink...you know.

So looking forward to getting some relaxing time. Had a pretty hectic year and I'm up for a well deserved rest :0)) Catch up on the 6th July.

sketchy time

just some very quick sketches of cute dog and cat :0)

sketchy goodness

I have a number of projects on at the moment. Keeping busy with princesses, wild animals, pirates, dogs, dinosaurs....so much fun.

A little sneak peek of what I'm sketching.

what is lion having for lunch?

A page from this book. Lots of fun and activity to little ones :0))

Delivery of books!

Always lovely to get some new books in the door :0))

self promo

Benn working on some new national characters in my spare time between jobs. Here is a little taster :0))

Published!

So this book is now published and available to buy here now :0)

a little doggy

Part of a job I did a while ago. Fun, colourful and simple.

Jungle book

I went to see Jungle Book at cinema on monday and it was very good.

Inspired me to do this quick sketch-not quite right but it's a first attempt and I'm not being precious about it :0

buzzy bee

Well I'm not quite so busy just now so it's ironic I post a pic of a busy bee :0)

I have been doing an awful lot of waiting on clients over the past few weeks and I am still waiting.

Hoping to receive some new and exciting projects soon!! I like to be a busy bee :0)

jungle pattern

pineapples!

Amusing myself with some cute, fun pineapples in a pattern :0)

Seal in Sea!

Was doodling around yesterday and this is the result.

Love under the sea subjects :0))

pattern making

Wanted to do a spring like pattern today.

Greenpeace Save the Arctic campaign poster

I designed a poster for the save the arctic campaign by Greenpeace.
You can vote for it if you go to the link. Thanks :))

ladybird amend

I think blogger is saturating my images...I don't know how to stop this so have posted this one again and lightened it a bit. I hate over saturated :0(

doddle day

Been neglectful of my blog! Here are a couple of warm ups I did today. It's important to just do something self indulgent from time to time so I indulged today :0))

I still have real work on too. Books to finish in the next week.

Hope you like the patterns

working working

Been a little while since I updated on the old blog!

Work has been keeping me busy and I've just become busier again with an additional new job :0)

So here is a little illie I did a number of years ago cos I can't post any of the the jobs I'm working on.

I love My Mummy

A new book is available to buy for the little ones! Lots of cute fun and colour :0))

sketch beaver

I saw a baby beaver on the telly the other night and had to do a quick sketch of one :0))

Still very, very, busy here with work. I am dividing my time between 2 different construction sites, monsters, cats, owls, fast vehicles and a map. Just completed 2 novelty animal books, some posters for a railway station and some preliminary work for inclusion at Bologna Book Fair.
