Monika Magazine Issue 2 Launch

It's the launch of Issue 2 of Monika Magazine at Donlon Books this eve. One of my scribbles is in this issue; the last issue was a great mix of creative writing and interesting articles on Art and Design, I can't wait to go pick up my copy! Yip!

The Birds

Some old work made new, these drawings were from my sketch book for a book illustration competition. They didn't get used in the end, so thought I would breathe some life into them now, if you haven't ever read Daphne Du Maurier's "The Birds" you should! Hitchcock's film version is probably in the top 10 of my favourite films of all time, though the films ending differ from the original book.

Recycle Your Stuff Please.

Here are a few of many spot illustrations I made for a book titled "Recycle; The Essential Guide" published by Black Dog this April. I used ink for the drawings and as a result had two black fingers for the duration! (I am not the tidiest of illustrators)

1. How glass is recycled

2. How to make a wormery

3. How to compost

The Gorillas

This is an illustration to go alongside a short story about a strained relationship between a father and son. It's not been published yet, so more details on which magazine you can find it in at a later time...

Mega Drawing

I recently finished a drawing of massive proportions for a private commission ( for above a fireplace no doubt) The drawing is 80x180cm titled "I can Hear You Talking, But I'm Not Listening" and followed on from my reading of this book.

Another Test

I can Hear You Talking But I'm Not Listening

This is a test for a massive drawing I am creating for a private commission, the final piece will be 180mmx80mm.
