London Loves

Whilst researching posters on the London Transport Museum archives I discovered these lovely pieces of inspiration. Enjoy.

Pictures at Frank!

I'm thrilled to announce that I'm now selling my screen prints, etchings and paintings at one of my favourite British galleries: Frank in Whitstable which is a space devoted to artwork, crafts and books by contemporary British designers. They also sell cushions in my St Jude's Treehouse fabric and my Art Angel's giftwraps. If you are lucky to find yourself down at Whitstable any time soon make sure you drop in.

Wigtown Festival 2011

I was thrilled to be commissioned by Bremner Design to illustrate this year's Wigtown Book Festival. I created an illustration featuring three literary goldfinches, continuing the theme of birds native to the Dumfries and Galloway region of Scotland (where the festival is held). You can see the illustration I did for last year's brochure here

Wedding Invitation

I recently created hand drawn lettering and decoration for these screen printed wedding invitations.

Some More Garden Drawings

RIP Leonora Carrington

I fell in love with Leonora Carrington at the Surreal Friends Exhibition at the Pallant House Gallery last summer. She died this week aged 94. Read about her incredible work and inspiring life here

For Carrie May

Les Sports

Hardly my favourite thing in the world but this lovely book by Alain Grie, given to me by the talented Caitlin Hinshelwood, is so fantastic I could be converted to a sporty type. Particularly fond of the wrestlers....

Paddle

I recently illustrated the cover of Paddle by Jasper Wynn which is published by Sort Of Books. The book itself just arrived in the post!

La Vie En May

I spent last weekend with the most talented Carrie May at Harmony Cottage in Gloucestershire. We wandered in the fields and drew flowers in the garden.

What was lost

I recently worked with designer Gavin Morris to create a cover for "What Was Lost" By Catherine O' Flynn, a fantastic book published by Tindal Street.

spaces between petals and thoughts

I volunteer on thursday mornings at the Botanical Painting class at Core Arts in Hackney. These are some recent paintings I've done there.

Smart Investor

I was recently commissioned by Barclay's Smart Investor Magazine to create an illustration for their cover about international investing!

In California

Wish I was there today...

Back to the garden

I sat in the sun and drew in my sketchbook...

Some Summers They Drop Like Flys

The soundtrack to being roasted alive in my studio, happy easter everyone.....

Sun Against My Eyes

I just spent a blissful week on the Balaeric island of Menorca. Nothing is more lovely than a mediterranean island in spring, meadows full of asphodels, carpets of wildflowers and dry stone walls. I did some drawing in my sketchbook....

The Sea

my soundtrack of choice to this particular spring...
