The Show must…IS ON!!
So… We are now six (?) weeks into 2015 and I have managed to claw my way through the detritus – strewn across (seemingly) every square-centimetre of my house – deposited in the wake of pre- and post-assessment and Final Show prep, … Continue reading
Anyone fancy an ice-cream…?
Crisp, brilliant and sparkling though the last few frosty days have been, I have to admit to being pretty much over the winter thing now, thank you. It’s just too damn cold for sitting hunched in an almost entirely sedentary, … Continue reading

Double doses…
Yikes. Four days in and I’ve already had my first Advent-blog-post-punctuality casualty… So here are yesterday’s and today’s in tandem: The temperature’s plummeted again here in the South East, and mum (staying for the briefest of visits this weekend) … Continue reading

Just keep moving…
Why on earth did I venture into an illustration-a-day enterprise at this time of year? And with deadlines crashing all round me?!! Eejit. Anywho… Here is my little offering for today – mainly Antarctic, as opposed to especially festive: it … Continue reading

Seagulls, a Festival of Illustration and the MA-does-crowdfunding (whew!)
Well, another long ol’ hiatus (traditional apologies…), but it’s all getting a trifle hectic here on the MA Children’s Book Illustration course… Here’s a rather stressed-out looking seagull by way of illustration (pun fully – and inescapably – intended): In … Continue reading

Back to school…
OK, a good 5 weeks after actual schools (and, ergo, Marvellous Dave…), but yes, last Thursday, 2 October, was our first day back to the graphite- and miscellaneous-other-art-media-scented studios of the Cambridge School of Art, and marked the commencement of … Continue reading

Flock of seagulls (no, not THAT one – I’m FAR too young… *cough*)
So, to call this a, er, “weekly” blog would be something of an ENORMOUS LIE. Ah, sorry about that… A rather event-stuffed summer has segued a little awkwardly (i.e. with a few disastrously unproductive, navel-contemplating days and a number of … Continue reading
Inter-wedding post (an unapologetic[ish] miscellany)
Well then… Another long ol’ hiatus from the blogosphere – precipitated, I would just mention, by an inordinate number of social engagements and hither-and-thitherings, the abundance of which myself and Marvellous Dave (M.D.) have been, hitherto, somewhat un(or perhaps, more accurately, … Continue reading
