Pupils dilated with snake venom.

A few sketches of listening artists from last night's meeting.

I'd forgotten how much I love drawing people.

Each took no longer than a couple of minutes. 

Medium: biro on post-it-note.

Show Me Show Me!

Back from a fantastic 3 days in Manchester working as a Scenic Artist on a brilliant new series of Show Me Show Me for Cbeebies. It was a fantastic experience to work with such a great team on such a wonderful show.

Big thanks to Lynda McGrory and John Gallimore, and everyone else!

**UPDATE**

The new series is now on Cbeebies channel, and can be seen on iplayer HERE.

Here are some screen shots of the birdhouse I did:

Margate A&E

Don't get chest pain in Margate - you may have to wait for 3 hours in A&E before you decide to go home as no doctors or nurses are available to fix your heart.

Luckily Canterbury A&E is full of doctors and nurses. 

Thanks doctors and nurses for looking after S.

Sorry for the lack of blog posts of late - been working on some exciting new things which will be revealed over the next few weeks. In the meantime I went outside and got on a train and watched the sunrise over the gentle hillocks of Kent whilst speeding backwards to London.

There are still sleeping people on the train. Heres 4 pages of muttering, swaying dreamers.

Whitstable Celebrity Spotter!

It can't be them, can it? 

A quick sneak peek at the design for my upcoming postcard range for the summer in super spiffing sunny Whitstable. This is an A1 sized print for the current A1 Exhibition at The Horsebridge.

Phenomenal amounts of celebs come to play and live in the town, but can you spot them out and about, cap down and shades on?

Cards coming real soon!

MDCAGM2012

Ah few sketches from the dizzy heights of saturday's Millionaire Designer's Club outing in Soho... beginning with a train journey across the Kent marshes, through Chatham and Rochester. Spying allsorts of curious barbed wire covered oast houses, lines in the sky, and ponies running backwards. Much too fast to capture by pencil or camera. I settled on sketching a mute lady reading the newspaper, and a rusty submarine in the bank of the Medway.

...later on a rather photographic rendering of fellow Millionaire Designers was spoilt by my drunk pencil:

A super afternoon with the finest of friends. 

More soon please chaps!
