Caterer Magazine

Here's a recent illustration I did for Caterer & Hotelkeeper magazine. It was to accompany an article about restaurant's opening with it's menu prices set way too high. 16 quid for a starter!?!

More Trees

As I stated earlier, I love drawing trees. Here's some tree sketches I did this week. Real trees. Out in the open. With a pencil. I wore shorts and got sunburn on my shins. That's it for me and the "great" outdoors.

Bongo Lewis - King of Dogs

Another toy. Same as last time - designed by me, made by Louise. Made from vintage tweed and approx 15 inches tall. Available soon from the shop on my website. One of my Bongo Lewis strips was blown up to fill the windows above Borders on Oxford Street about 6/7 years ago. I never saw this (despite walking beneath it a few times, if only I'd crossed the road!). If anyone, by some bizarre fluke, happens to have photos of this I'd love to see them.

Creature Print

A recently commissioned fabric print featuring a cavalcade of creatures dragged kicking and screaming from my sketchbook (look there's Inspector Cumulus!). If all goes well this should be appearing on a hooded top near you sometime in the next couple of months.

Inspector Cumulus

Does anybody remember those cool old black and white films about Inspector Cumulus, the cloud-headed detective? What about the old Pan paperbacks written by Barrington Chendy (yes, THAT Barrington Chendy!) that you used to be able to pick up cheap in charity shops? No? Oh right, I must have just made it up then.

Octobus Stop.

The stuff you see at bus stops. Honestly, only yesterday. Waiting for the X94.

Mr Smashing.

Introducing Mr Smashing. A collaboration between me and my very significant other, Louise. Mr Smashing was originally designed for some of our smaller friends but is now available to buy from the shop on my website. He's the perfect house guest and is guaranteed to liven up any room. More to follow....
