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.

Glassprinting

Yesterday I tried impossibly difficult stencil printing onto a glass vase, I think it could look really cool but I have to work out a better way of doing it to make it easier, a lot of thinking about this is next. Hope to work it out!

"Botanical Art" New prints!

Aah what a long day! I finished my 'aubergine prediction print', Twice! 

Here they both are - as well as a photo of my real Aubergine babies.. 

I have just sent these off to Artist and Illustrators Magazine for their Botanical Art issue.

Culmination

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