Maurice!

Here's a little chap I came up with last week for another story I've got in my head. It could go many ways at the minute as it is still slightly ambiguous!

A Visit to Edinburgh


This illustration is taken from "Beware! Low Flying Rabbits"(pub. Macmillan 2011), a recent 2nd poetry collaboration with Roger Stevens. As always,great fun to do!

Captain Beardybones!


A couple of years ago,I worked on a series of pirate based stories for the lovely people at Orchard! 
I thought I'd revisit the subject recently and see how I could improve on characterisation. 
Captain Beardybones was the result!
