Very pleased to say that the cartoon side of our work is making its way into print very soon:

Children’s vocabulary shrinking as reading loses out to screen time, says Susie Dent Exclusive: Countdown lexicographer urges families to read, talk and play word games to help language development

The week before last saw us working on this mural for The Limerick Milk Market. It commemorates Catherine Hayes, a 19th century opera star who was born in Limerick

Very happy with how this looks now. This is the "placeholder " artwork we have done for the units that were The Santa Experience and, later on, will become The Easter Bunny Experience and then The Halloween Experience.

The work of P.G.Wodehouse is timeless, and I've loved his books since the first time I picked one up wayyyy back in the early 70s. Here a a few recent sketches I've done based on those stories

If you're not familiar with the works of Terry Pratchett, you won't know that Death in his stories is one of the more loveable characters. These are a few sketches I've done recently inspired by those tales.

Last night's job

Rather pleased with these. It's been a while since we tackled any of these characters.

Back in 2020, at the height of Covid, my friends and employers at the Santa Experience were confronted with the prospect of a closed Christmas. By way of creating an alternative, Greg Clarke wrote a children's story which encompassed the various features of what we had created in the Experience and asked me to illustrate his tale. I spent the Spring and Summer of 2020 creating these images, and Deborah Hilbert added her amazing colours to my drawings. I'm really pleased with how the whole thing came together, and these are a few of the pictures in the final product, Finding Nutmeg.
