"Where is the butterfly going to land? The suspense is killing me" Said Ella the Fox. I know how she feels it's wonderful to watch them flitter about they never seem to sure on where they want to go. Thank you all again for the wonderful comments. Hope you like this weeks post.

IF: Forward

2012-01-29T08:05:00.000-08:00

Little Red Riding Hood is looking forward to seeing Granny, if only she would look back she'd see the Big Bad Wolf following her through the forest. At least we know everything works out in the end. Once again thank you to everyone for you comments, they truly inspire me!

IF: Twirl

2012-01-24T11:08:00.000-08:00

One wrong twirl of her magic wand and Wendy has turned Bob the Black Cat into a frog! She needs to be more carful, and a lot more practise. Thank you to everyone for all your amazing comments last week. They are very much appreicated!

IF: Prepare

2012-01-15T09:48:00.001-08:00

Well After Christmas and New Year it's good to prepare for the year ahead and what better way than with a lovely picture of Bob the (almost) Black cat preparing to pounce on a unsuspecting mouse, although knowing Bob he'll mess it up so the mouse is quiet safe really. Hope everyone likes it it's always so wonderful to hear your special comments.

IF: Scary

2011-11-01T11:01:00.001-07:00

This is a picture I finally completed for another Illustration Friday topic which handily fits this weeks too. Although saying that I don't think Wendy the witch is really all that scary to be honest.

T-Rex is coming! Story Image

2011-10-11T13:27:00.001-07:00

This is another image from my new story T-Rex is Coming! This is the moment just before T-Rex arrives in the swamp.

IF: Ferocious

2011-09-26T13:18:00.000-07:00

Everone always runs away from T-Rex because he looks so ferocious but really he is very nice and just wants to be friends

IF: Mesmerizing

2011-09-18T09:45:00.000-07:00

It was mesmerizing watching Wendy the Witch brew up a spell. This is the rough sketch from one of my new stories featuring Wendy the little witch. I'll have it coloured in soon and will be sure to post it up when it's done.

IF: Mysterious

2011-09-06T04:58:00.000-07:00

I wonder what mysterious experiment this clever scientist is doing today?

Young Thor

2011-09-06T04:02:00.000-07:00

This is a picture from a story idea I'm working on based around the Norse Ledgends. If focuses on Thor's imaginary childhood and what he might have been like growing up, I think he would have been pretty cheeky

IF:Influence

2011-08-26T08:39:00.000-07:00

I know what my biggest influence was when I was a kid. Actually it probably still is, TV is magic!

IF: Swell

2011-08-18T10:37:00.001-07:00

Lots of my friends seem to be having babies lately and I think that's swell!

IF: Imperfect

2011-08-09T10:07:00.001-07:00

Just a quick post to get me back into the swing of Illustration Friday. Well it started out as a quick post but took flipping ages to do in the end, I've not done any mixed media pictures for a while now as I've been distracted by some exciting painting projects which I'll post soon. Anyway hope you like this happy little chap.

Somethings you really should keep bottled up, and here are a few of them in my new style.

IF: Prehistoric

2010-12-10T03:18:00.000-08:00

I had quiet a bit of fun playing with designing the characters for this old joke.

2010-11-30T13:09:00.000-08:00

Wow no posts for ages and then three in as many minutes! Well I did go for to New Zealand for a holiday. Anyway this is a T-shirt design I did for my friend Simon's birthday, and yes he does have quiet a wrinkley forehead.

The Traditional School Christmas Play

2010-11-30T13:07:00.000-08:00

Started to feel a bit Christmasy the other day and this was what happened next.

IF: (Sort of) Saviour

2010-11-30T13:02:00.000-08:00

Yeah I miss read the Illustration Friday topic this week which was "Savour", still I quiet like like this

IF: Subterranean

2010-03-16T13:49:00.001-07:00

Here's my take on the 'subterranean' title. I decided that the worm and the bird in one of my recent posts should have their own staring role in a new picture just for them! Hope you like it.

IF: Brave

2010-03-07T11:30:00.000-08:00

Badger is very brave to go out delivering the mail on such a windy day!

Tug of War

2010-03-07T11:18:00.001-08:00

This one was just for fun, but I'm really pleased with it. I think I might have to do some more rabbit pictures.
