Hello again

So I have been neglecting the blog lately. I've been working the past fortnight on the set and music for a local production of Cinderella. It's been good fun, but taken up a lot of time. Which I don't mind at all, but it has meant I've gotten no work of my own done in ages. But just to fill my blogging absence for now, here's some pics of hard working folk and our labours. Should get some good shots of the finished sets soon.





Also, I went to a local framers and asked them for waste material from their card mounts and found it to be a lovely drawing canvas. Will be working with this stuff for a while me thinks.



And lastly here's a recent book cover I did. It's yet to go to print, but I'm happy with how it turned out;

little wildness

recent sketchbook work.

here's a commission i did for some friends from an old picture of a village in.....louth? athone?....i have no memory. i forgot to get a decent scan of it before it was framed. i get slightly panicked when asked to draw things that actually exist.
