'Watch this Space'

...these took me back a bit when I saw them again on e-bay!..My Grandad used to save the picture cards from boxes of tea (loose, not in bags in those days), and can still remember their tea-infused scent that each card had!..I particularly loved this series of weird  wonderful space craft & odd looking spikey satellites & space bits n' bobs...all very 1960s techy stuff!!!...think I might put together a homage illustration to capture those wonderful evocative days!...'watch this space!' as they say

a little sneaky-peek at something currently on my drawing board....

Christmas-y stuff...

as it's getting nearer Christmas, thought I'd pop on some illustrations I did for Paperchase a few years back...

Alphabet Poster

...at long last....here is my Alphabet poster which will be on sale from Monday. It's a lot trickier than I thought it would be - coming up with the various different letter images, and not doing the usual same things found on children's alphabets...hope you like it!

Rainy Days...

With all this rain around, I thought I'd give you a little peek at the letter 'U' for 'umbrella' from my soon to be completed alphabet....

'All Aboard!!"

A new children's illustration fresh from the drawing board!..'toot-toot"

Doin The Banana Split

...out of all my influences as an artist, this has to have been the greatest!...

I loved this programme, with all it's whacked out pop art scenery & graphics.

Great music too!...enjoy!

The Brighton Line

....well, after a long absence (been busy scribbling & doodling away!)... I'm very happy to announce that the new improved 'Brighton Line' print is now available to buy at ArtRepublic - both online and at their Brighton Gallery in Bond Street, North Laines. There's been a great response so far..The Argus are doing a feature on it today, & I've just heard Juice FM have been raving about it!!!....hope you like the new design (I had to ditch some of the elements that were too close to the real tube map due to strict copyright control from London Transport - but I think that the new Mod target logo is much more in keeping with the Brighton theme!)
