the growing boy: May 2011

http://thegrowingboy.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 18 May 2011. Sunday, 15 May 2011. Ok, please bear with me here. I know. This blog has been a mass of stop/starts, changing roughs and long periods of total silence. It's basically the book blog equivalent of being hopelessly lost on a country road without a map. Probably in the dark. Near a sinister tree. With an owl. This image is a good example. Here's the rough:. And here's the finished illustration:. Not what I meant at all. I wish I could be more specific. There was something strangely un...

the growing boy: August 2009

http://thegrowingboy.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 4 August 2009. That's artistic licence for you, if only real life was as simple. Here I'm demonstrating the convenience and lucky happinstance (is that a word? Of illustrating while making a cup of tea - in a moment of inspirado, that teabag came in handy for added 'mess'! In an exciting garden update: I have one red tomato! I'm so excited, I may even post a picture! Monday, 3 August 2009. After much procrastinating, the first new illustration visual is finished! Next up, the pooing dog.

the growing boy: February 2011

http://thegrowingboy.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 22 February 2011. Oh dear, the neglect of the poor growing boy is now bordering on abuse. I'm like an evil, wicked character from a Brothers Grimm tale, and he's been shut up in a silent, dark cupboard for months! However. maybe it's the fact that spring is round the corner, maybe I just needed to mull on it for a bit, but I am starting to work on the book again, albeit in a slightly different direction (yet again!

the growing boy: new gardening tools

http://thegrowingboy.blogspot.com/2010/02/new-gardening-tools.html

Wednesday, 3 February 2010. Since they arrived last week my new watercolours have lain, unopened, until today. It has taken huge restraint on my part, but I have had to ignore them while I got on with some urgent design work (it has been hell - I could see them out of the corner of my eye the whole time and I would much rather have been messing around with paints, brushes and water than formatting text! The new illustration is still in the early stages, so nothing to show. View my complete profile.

scribbles in ink: October 2014

http://scribblesinink.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 15 October 2014. I normally just ignore requests asking to use my artwork for free (but they’ll credit my work? Like I'd seriously let them use it without a credit? 8220;To those who are seeking artists, let me ask you; How many people do you know, personally, with the talent and skill to perform the services you need? So, given that they are less rare, and therefore less in demand, would it make sense to ask your mechanic to work on your car for free? If you answered yes to the above, you&#82...

scribbles in ink: November 2014

http://scribblesinink.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Sunday, 2 November 2014. Anyway, the castle I'm drunkenly haunting in the pic is Muchalls, where some fab friends hosted an excellent Halloween party last weekend, but if I had to pick a specific green lady I'd be the Dunnottar one (she haunts the brewery.).

Friday, 16 May 2014. Aberdeen, Stonehaven. Milan! My Blessings print continues its global conquest, this time heading off to Milan (London, Paris and New York next perhaps? As this sale came from my collection of cards and prints available over on cloth nappy specialists The Nappy Laundry Company. Owner Nicole insisted on an 'artist signing the print' picture - can you tell she had a previous life in PR? Less cultural and hairy, but more delicious! Links to this post. Monday, 12 May 2014. A good day....

scribbles in ink: February 2015

http://scribblesinink.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

Tuesday, 10 February 2015. Almost done with Morse, the book goes to print this month and most of the illustrations are already with the publisher. Just a couple more to go, phew. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Originally about me leaving behind the cut throat world of corporate design and becoming a freelance illustrator, I guess it's become more of an outlet for my random musings. mostly nonsense I'm afraid, but vaguely peppered with a rare moment of clarity.
