Jill and Dragon

This is a little introduction to 'Jill and Dragon' a story with a sad dragon, a jealous dog, a small girl, a huge book and plenty of toast. I have been part of the Picture Hooks scheme this year and have been working with my brilliant mentor Ross Collins (and Hugo the chocolate lab) on this story for the past year. 

You can see 'Jill and Dragon' on display at The Scottish National Gallery until February 2014 as part of the Picture Hooks exhibition.

A huge thanks to Lucy Juckes, Linda MacClelland, Orchard Books and Vivian French.

Join Together!

To celebrate her wedding Meg Hunt is having a gallery show! She asked her illustrator friends and peers to make a small piece with "Join Together" as the unifying concept - love, friendship and all the things that connect us.

Above is my small contribution to the show...but there are over 50 artists taking part and I, for one, can't wait to see everyones!

Join Together opens at the Land Gallery in Portland, OR on August the 9th.

The QR knights actually started life as two exclusive prints for artisic.ly. Artisic.ly's aim is to get prints out of tubes and drawers and onto walls! This means that Artistic.ly’s limited edition prints will only be available pre-framed and ready to hang. Each order will be hand numbered, debossed with the Artistic.ly seal and limited to editions of just 50. All Artistic.ly framed limited editions will cost £125 with free delivery to anywhere in the world.

The two smiling knights (night day and knight night) I created are designed to be hung as a pair and you can choose either a white or black frame for your print!

To celebrate the launch of the initiative there was an exhibition at the Truman Brewery in London last thursday! Thanks to Joe Rogers for the photo! (Joe also has some nice prints on artisic.ly)

Although I didn't catch Brian Wilson at Bestival, I did see him performing last night in Glasgow where I got myself a nice t-shirt
