Just giving you a little peep at some images I’ve been working on recently.
Hoping it won’t need to be so secretive soon!

Phew! I managed to complete this just in the nick of time to enter the Serco and London Transport Museum competition deadline.
The brief was to illustrate a ‘secret’ part of London. I chose to base my image on Queens Wood, near Highgate tube, from the point of view of the actual secret.
I used to live near it a lifetime ago, and it has this magical quality which makes you believe you really aren’t in the ‘Big Smoke’ at all.

I’ve always been happy with this image, but I’ve just given it a little collage tickle to bring it up to date!

Meet Gretel. She’s about to join the family of gingerbread people at Just Imagine (story centre and book shop) working as book vouchers. Cool, huh?!

So, here’s the “coloured in” version of how I see my now home town. Doesn’t look too bad a place to live, heh?
I just need to hide a few children somewhere in there, then finally, “Chelmsford” will be finished!

So, here’s my “Chelmsford” looking a little less rough. Now for a ‘bit’ of colouring in…

I think I’ve maybe bitten off a little more than I can chew with this new idea… we’ll see!
Here’s a rough rough I’ve been working on for a piece based on my hometown of Chelmsford.
Now to turn it into something creative…: /

A little re-visit to an old idea of mine, makes for a fine new Christmas card for this Yule-tide methinks!

Inspired by a character project at Just Imagine story centre, I thought I’d give these ladies some new coats

I’ve been adding a little collage of late to spice up the acrylic. This piece was for a book banner for the JustImagine illustration group.

A little taster to start …
