Make me king.

I drew a king. And i am pleased. I can't usually draw people. but i like him a lot. Also some wolves feet. a little creepy maybe?

Islands.

Here is a potential Grimm Island.

Puffin update.

I've been thinking a lot and not doing very much. The stories are so complicated and many are based around journeys which instantly lead me to think about MAPS. I was going to try and base my work around the typography but i know as a child - even now, having a map as part of a book really helped me connect with the book. So i am imagining a map with

tiny castles

forests

lakes

boats

kings

princesses

wolves

dogs

birds

I found this image on Tumblr, not sure who its by but i like it.

Secret 7"

I've recently been working on some designs, for Secret 7". Designing vinyl covers for a selection of artists, it's a competition with an opportunity to have some of the designs in a gallery in London. The first part of the competition is based on votes, below are the links to my designs. Some of them i am really pleased with. Others not so much - was defo having an I CAN'T DRAW ANYTHING kind of week when this happened. Not ideal.
