I got to illustrate the cover of the latest single released by Chris Cope. The single is called ‘Said Too Much’ which could have been interpreted in many different ways. This muzzled parrot was the result!

It was great to see so many people are passionate about illustration. There are approx 20 artists in the exhibition and three rooms packed full of work to view and to purchase. I have a few of my explorers prints, more of the isles series and a new series about giants.
Thanks to Anne-Sophie and the Corban Estate crew for inviting me to be a part of it! The exhibition runs till the 4th of March so do have a look see if you get the chance.

New Year
January 10th, 2012
Welcome back to a new year! Any one else feel like that break went REALLY fast? Perhaps it was all the rainy days spent inside.
Any way its good to be back in the studio – As previously mentioned I have some illustrations in the current issue of Good Magazine. If you havent heard of Good definitely get a copy, it is full of all sorts of ‘goodness’!
The article I illustrated was about ‘Cultivating the Art of Slow’ – which is something I definitely need to do more of. The second part of the article examined personality types and suggested ways you could choose a more balanced ‘slower’ lifestyle.
It was a real interesting read and great fun drawing different characters for each type. What number are you?
You can pick up your copy here or at your local supermarket/bookstore.

A sneak peak at what i have been working on lately….
But in other news… we are in the process of having a wee shake up here on the website. New pictures being added here there and everywhere!!
And when I say ‘we’.. I mean myself and my husband Jayden. Not sure if I have mentioned this on the blog yet but earlier this year The Picture Garden became home to us both!
