It's nearly Christmas!!

Two New Books

Here are three little angels...

They appear in 'A Peek-a-boo Christmas!',
one of two new books I have illustrated for
Ambassador Children's Books.


Here's a detail of the front cover...Both titles, written by Loretta Oakes, are 'lift-the-flap' books.
Here are a few details...

Illustrations for The Jennifer Trust

I've recently finished work on the illustrations for a book called
'Smasheroo', about a child living with Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

Here are Poppy and Ajay...




And here is Poppy dressed-up for a party...


The book was commissioned byThe Jennifer Trust, a UK charity
dedicated to supporting people affected by SMA.

I'll post more of the illustrations on here
once the book has been published.

Illustration Friday - Dessert

A big dessert for a little person...

Summer...

Just adding a touch of Summer to my (quiet) blog.
Mind you, it's raining here at the moment.

Flower Stamps

I have produced six new 'flower-themed' stamp designs for
Sugar Nellie.
I think my favourite is 'Sweet Pea', shown above...

Skipping...

I'm busy working on several projects at the moment (good thing)
so I've been neglecting my blog (bad thing)...
I'll be able to post images from the projects once they're
published, but in the meantime, this is Poppy, skipping...

More Stamp Designs...

Here are a few recent illustrations for a set
of 'fairy and elf' stamp designs for the
rubber stamp company, Sugar Nellie.
Great fun to do...

Stamp Designs

I've been illustrating stamp designs for a rubber stamp company
called Sugar Nellie for a while now. Here are a couple of the latest
designs - done during the recent snowy weather!
I've also just finished a batch of fairy designs for them too - I'll
post some of them here once they're on sale over at Sugar Nellie.

Illustration Friday - Focused

Harry, focused on balancing...

The Special Present

I just received copies of a book I illustrated last year,
for EECI, Inc. These photos show the cover,
and a compilation of my favourite bits...
