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...

New Book Cover: Paddle

I worked with designer Peter Dyer to create this cover for Sort Of Books. Paddle is a travel book about Jasper Wynn's journey around the coast of Ireland in a kayak and all his adventures along the way.

A Labour of Love or Boredom?

I like to do very obsessive and detailed drawings for no particular reason. I ended up writing a letter to a friend on the other side of these...

Hoopoe

I just completed this private commission, a painting of a Hoopoe, a bird I have often enjoyed siting during holidays in the mediterranean.

Field Work ii 15-20th March

I am thrilled to be taking part in this years instalment of the Field Work pop up: the brain child of Caitlin Hinshelwood and Rose de Borman, the shop will be showing antiques, taxidermy, folk art and new British Design including many items commissioned exclusively for the event.

The shop will be open for business from next tuesday the 15th through to the 20th of March on Hanbury St off Brick Lane. Look here for more info.

Greece On My Wheels

It was with a sense of longing for a bit of warmth and sunshine that I created this cover for Summersdale Publishing by Edward Enfield. It's a travel book about his journey's around Greek Islands by bike, heaven...

Treehouse Fabric on an Ernest Race Rocking Chair

This Ernst Race rocking chair is upholstered in Treehouse- the fabric I designed for St Jude's. You can buy Treehouse from St Jude's here.
