Okido 10

Issue 10 of Okido magazine is now out, and it's all about emotions and feelings. I illustrated a short story about wolves, adapted from an old cherokee tale. The magazine was launched this weekend at Battersea's Doodle Bar, where there was an abundance of doodling, music, cake and burts crisps. A big thankyou to the Okido team for such a tip top evening!

Also, if you happen to be in the Worcester area it's well worth checking out the cosy 'task in hand' shop in the hop market. All things arty are overseen by Richard Clarke, who as well as being a shop keeper is a tip top illustrator (www.richardtclarke.co.uk). Richard was very kind to stock some of our menagerie postcard books, and sounds like he and the rest of the task in hand chaps have alot of exciting future projects in the works. keep an eye open at www.thetaskinhand.co.uk!

Girls who draw 2

The second Girls Who Draw postcard book is complete! The book contains 24 lovely postcards on the theme of menagerie by 11 illustrators: Sarah Ray, Gemma Correll, Mary Kilvert, Yee Ting Kuit, Anke Weckmann, Current State, Michelle Turton, Karoline Rerrie, Amy Timms, Ruth Green, and myself. Its been a great little project, and a splendid to work with these tip top folk. A big cheer to Karoline for organising it all!

Here are a few snippets of some of my work on show, and my new badges that I will be selling there. Its all shaping up nicely, so come down and visit.- ooo and bring your purse/wallet/penny pod!

bloomingly lovely

As from this week you can now buy flowers from ycn's rivington street gallery. They asked lots of illustrators to design wrapping paper for flowers to be sent to art directors and other creative folk, to help promote their agency. I went down a collagey-road, and you can see the finished article dead tiny in the middle there! All the paper designs are up in the library/gallery space so go have a gander!

th'update

All has been well, despite being a little light on the blogs. The past month I have been mainly drawing animals animals animals, for various different projects, and some bits and bobs to do with saxon poetry. Will hopefully get some images up shortly.

Yesterday I visited YCN to do some doodling for a new project. While I was there I met illustrators Toby Pennington and Valero Doval, who were very much busy beavering away to the tune of moustaches and mushrooms. It was my first visit to Rivington Street, and I definitely recommend to anyone London way to go have a snoop through their library!

Nikalas Catlow included some of my sketchbook doodles on his blog today, which was very nice of him. It's a really great blog for children's book design. Nikalas is currently featuring different illustrator's sketchbooks every Monday, and his Retro fest features are full of brilliant resources to inspire, borrow, and pinch.

Swing by!

I have been enjoying three whole days of summer on the trot (with the smashing Leigh Turner), so here's a gardening themed doodle...
