It all started with a visit to a shop called bygones and curious which is full of beautiful old things. I did some drawings and decided to make them into a repetative pattern and it was actually really fun. The original drawings are done in ink and then repeated on photoshop.
The fabulous children's magazine Anorak is holding a competotion to design the winter cover and this is what I came up with. Rather cool - my old tutor and mentor Simon Wild is a regular contributer.
I know I have been awful about updating, and it not because I've had a creative slump or gotten lazy (kind of the opposite), I just haven't had the internet for quite a while. I thought I'd start my resumed blogging with some good news. A few months ago Millie Boyd contacted me about one of my Christmas card designs and it was shown to Woodmansterne in a meeting. I didn't want to say anything in case I didn't get it, and for a long time I didn't hear anything and then last week I got the email saying they wanted to buy my design. My drawing will on Christmas cards sold in shops everywhere in 2010. :)

Over the Christmas holidays my tutors set us a project to draw one hundred interpretations of snow. Well, I made it to 87, which is better that a lot people in the class. Obviously I can't post them all, but here are my favourites.
At the moment we've been having quite a lot of snow here in London. I live in a country park so it's been just glorious.
In other news I am going to Vienna for 5 days on Monday weather permitting. Expect lots of photos and sketchbookness when I return and wish me look for an undelayed flight!
Suffolk towns in the winter look rather Dickension to me. And the heathlandy bits around the edges are really quite Jane Austeny.
