Runner's World Magazine

Below is an illustration for Runner's World magazine. The story was about a husband's annoyance at his wife's new found love affair with running, it was a really funny article which made the illustration all the more enjoyable to do!

Business as usual...

This is a recent illustration for an article in the July issue of Management Today magazine which provides bullet points to produce the perfect CV. You should most definitely mention your ability to sell an Eskimo a fridge!

As promised here are some pictures of Underwired magazine, which dropped through my letter box this morning.



There's also a short biog inside, including a photo *gulp* of me, taken in New York- I thought this was appropriate with it being an American publication and all! Although I probably appear a little too wrapped up for the May addition, but then again I'm always cold!

Underwired magazine

One of my illustrations has graced the glorious front cover of Underwired Magazine, a women's lifestyle magazine published in America. The May issue is out now, I will post a photo when my copy arrives from Kentucky!

Ra Ra Riot!

Here is an image I produced for Daytrotter.com of an American band called Ra Ra Riot! A few of their songs reference ghosts and deathly things, so I wanted to give the image a slightly unnerving and odd feel...

New Business Cards

Here are my new (and first) business cards, at the ready to be handed out to any one who wishes to have one!

The 405

I recently did an illustration for The 405. It was to create an image based on the Icelandic band "For a minor reflection". I could imagine their songs being the perfect soundtrack for a beautifully scenic Icelandic road trip!

Interview on SprayGraphic Blog.

There is an interview and some images on Spraygraphic's Sprayblog, including a sneaky peak of my studio!
I'm going to spend the day in my studio tomorrow working on a new illustration for The 405, I'll post it up when it's done!

New Sugar! Sweet...

I have been given the gift of being featured in an exciting new online magazine this month. It's called "New Sugar" and it features a collection of illustrators who have created an image for the issues theme "Believe Nothing." It also has an interview and some portfolio pieces, and can be found by going to New Sugar Magazine.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Now, I know that there's a certain air of despair this Christmas- but I say 'turn off the boring news and get unwrapping those Christmas pressies...if your lucky enough to get any this year!'
Have a very Merry Christmas!

New Website for Christmas!

I've given myself the gift of a new website this Christmas, with some new work and a new look for 2009!
Go ahead and have a gander!

Smile!

This little smile appeared when I was working on a few new images! Wonderfully encouraging!

G2 Illustration

Yesterday I illustrated an article about women's opportunities in the workplace for today's G2 for the Guardian. It was one of the shortest deadlines I've had to date, but that made it all the more fun & very satisfying!

Summer Mailer 2008

I will be sending out my summer mailer very soon & here's a sneaky peak of it!

Rita Hayworth

Rita Hayworth was a huge Hollywood Sex Symbol during the 30's & 40's. She tried to find happiness with 5 different husbands, but her quote 'Men fell in love with Gilda, but they wake up with me' seemed to ring true.

Don't Panic Pack

'Don't Panic' online magazine have a vote to design a pack each month. The next theme is "small" and I have submitted this design. I have a vague dread of growing old and gradually shirinking without realising it, it kind of seems inevitable!
Take a look & vote if you like!

I have been very dissapointed with Britains idea of Summer weather so far.
The days are dreary and dark, so I thought I would brighten up my Summer wardrobe with a few new garments!
This particular design is inspired by always having to carry a brolly in Britain. Whether it's January or July, you never know when a downpour of precipitation is heading your way!
