New book artwork

Well, well, well....Its been too long since I've posted.

I have been super busy with illustrating 3 books.

Heres a preview of two of them

These are educational books, with lovely simple stories.

                           

I've also worked on a few new images for Happy Spaces.

Heres my favourite one.

'Stuck In Traffic'

I will link it here when its available to buy.

I have lots to share with you from my work with Make Believe Ideas.

Watch this space!

Merry Christmas and a catch up.

 So Merry Christmas to you all!

Here's a bit of a catch up.....

  One of the big projects I worked on this year was a group of phonic fairy tale books with Make Believe Ideas.

The samples arrived a few weeks ago and here are some pics.

These will be available from January and I will put a link on here as soon as they are on sale.

 Make Believe Ideas also produced these lovely notebooks using some of my artworks too. I'm loving these.

  

Finally I found the exclusive Sainbury's version of my ABC book in store. You can't beat finding your products in the shops:-)

 

So, I have a few exciting projects in the pipeline for 2014, so far its set to be a busy year.

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a fantastic New year. x

ABC book and reading books

Wow!!!What a summer its been.......

I got some new book samples through yesterday, its an alphabet book I did illustrations for with Make Believe Ideas.

It has all sorts of fancy flaps textures and sliders. I'm really pleased with it!!

 

 

 I also got some samples through of two reading books I illustrated with Denise Ryan Associates in Australia - Cuckoo Cuckoo and Coyote, A Trickster Tale. Getting the finished books is one of the best things about this job....... As well as doing what you love for a living......As well as being able to listen to the radio all day, and drink coffee, and eat chocolate.....and have a cat on your knee......and listen to audio books.........and I'm finally having a go at my own book.....you never know. *crosses fingers*

Ah Haaaar Me Hearties!!!

Here is a personalised pirate book and matching items I have illustrated for Chronicle Books.

I loved this project.

You can order yours HERE and personalise it with a little ones name, town, pet name etc... Yay!!

Happy Easter!!

The Easter Parade!

Cuckoo Cuckoo!

Hi there!

Its been too long since I last posted.

Here's a lovely job I did last summer with Denise Ryan & Associates, Melbourne, Australia. Who are lovely to work with.

This is a reading book that is being published by 

Teacher Created Materials of Huntington Beach, California.

Isn't it amazing how easily we work with people all around the world now? I don't want to sound old, but the 18yr old me would have been amazed!

I loved working on this, I love drawing birds and owls so this was a treat! My aim was to include as much colour and pattern as possible.

I hope you like it..... 

New Books arrived!

Wow, Its been quite a year......

Sometimes time flies by so quick, its a lovely surprise when samples of books you have worked on turn up.

A lovely Christmas present arrived for me yesterday.
This set of lift the flap books that I illustrated for Make Believe Ideas.

I'm very excited that I can give a set to my niece on her first Christmas.
 

 

  

You can pre- order yours from Amazon now!

All that remains is to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful 2013! x

Images 36

I'm very proud to have been chosen to feature in 

The AOI Images 36 book. 

I was unable to make the private view at Somerset House,

 so it was great to receive my copy this morning.

There are so many talented illustrators in the book. Yay :-)
