Give me........

... because I deserve it,
I'm finally feeling on top of the dissertation, and I really want to draw something.

Miroslav Sasek

I have always been a big fan of Sasek's, and I particularly love his series of children's books about cities around the world. The image below is an ace image of Victoria street, one of my favorite streets in Edinburgh. I'm definately going to add some of these books to my Christmas wish list.

My annoying habit

A model illustration based on my annoying habit of twisting mine and the boyf's hair when I'm all sleepy and content.

Massive Hair

Unbalanced by massive hair.

First Book rough

So this is how far on I am with my Atlas book Adaptation of Ryan Braunds animation, but there are many alterations to be made. For a sneaky peak at few of the other pages don't hesitate to have a look at my flickr.

Bearded man in a bath

When life is a bit of a blur, after a bottle. Have a bath. This Bald, bearded man has. This scenario is inspired by words beginning with the letter B.

Skinny Long Dog

A very quick illustration for illustration Fridays word, Skinny. But If time permits I will come back to this and spend more time on this.

Saughton Stories

Amongst the titles are “Advice”, illustrated by Hannah Rye, “The Pigeon Fancier”, illustrated by Kristyna Litten, “The Jumble Sales”, illustrated by Rick Thomas, “Methadone”, illustrated by Nicola O’Byrne and “Dialysis”, illustrated by Sophie Warden., and "Dear John", illustrated by Chuck Ban Chan.

Atlas Book

As part of my dissertation I am looking at adaptation between animation/films and picture books, and have decided to make a picture book of my own based on a short animation. So this is a sneaky section of part of my book.

Dolls House

Inspired by all of the Toy and Childhood museums I've been going to lately here is a wee drawing of a doll's house. Something which maybe the subject of obsessional drawing.

Stickers!

I'm very excited to be the proud owner of these amazing Marc Boutavant stickers that I bought at the Seven Stories, a museum solely dedicated to children's story books.

Bert the Bear

Bert and the flying Birds. Some development work for illustrations based around the alphabet.

Back to work

So its back to college and my final year already feels like its disappearing beneath me, beginning the year with editorials. This editorial and the two complementary vignette images are for an article reviewing the book 'Tormented Hope: nine Hypochondriac lives', by Brian Dillion. This book includes people such as James Boswell, Charlotte Bronte and Charles Darwin. The image above is particularly relating to the story of Daniel Paul Schreber, a politician who went 'insane' , believed that god wanted him to change into a woman and that benidictine Monks had found themselves inside his head, amogst other things.


One of the hypochondriacs included Florence Nightingale, who often complained of her illnesses, often taking work to her bed for long periods of time. Three images done, just one to go, as well as the issue of printing.

zebra crossing

A sketch done for the design of a Zebra crossing, for an editorial I am working on, also Zebra's are known for their pattern. Any suggestions for this would also be appreciated.

Procrastination

The product of putting off doing work and new pens. but i think i needed to get it out of my system before I start producing something of value in the sketchbook I may now have ruined.

Meercats

This is just a drawing for my love of meerkats,

What I wore Today

This is my latest post for Gemma Correll's new fantastic group called what I wore Today, for all us camera shy illustrators out there. And seen as though so many people have put up some great drawings Gemma has set up a new blog for the favourite ones here.
