Holiday Snapshot Sketches

Summer holiday in Rhodes, Greece 

Brought a great book, which I planned to finish, and then read another.

I did neither - instead I drew a lot:

Breakfast view

Pornstar Martini, Negroni. Waiting, drawing.

Rhodes Clocktower

Early morning,  sea like a lake, one lady flapping her hands against the water.

Captain's crest

Boat ride queue

Birthday Boy

Lindos Bay after a big dinner

Whitstable (Back in England!)

East London Illustrated Map

One piece of paper, a knife, some ink.

As a London based illustrator, I created a map of East London for an editorial brief from Boat Magazine. My illustrated map shows my first six months in this amazing city. The pubs, markets ( Columbia Road Flower Market, Broadway Market, Ridley Road ) London Fields, Victoria Park, the canal, derelict buildings, new towers in the city - and the Rio Cinema, passed by a continuous stream of buses and whirring police sirens.

"Come Draw With Me!"

One little photo to sum up my Mothers Day Card Making workshop at Spitalfields Market 

in connection with The Campaign For Drawing. Feedback was good. I loved the cards.

Culmination

These images echo human experiences, floating somewhere between wonder and fear in an amazing but inhospitable world.
