New Work

I have a couple of updates today, Firstly I think it is okay for me to post this now, here is my image for the Sunday Times Travel Magazine. I was really happy with how it turned out, plus I got to use stamps, which is always a bonus.

I have also updated my website, it has a new layout and a couple of new images.


The first is an image about weight loss, and reaching a target weight. It's a pretty simple image, and didn't take very long to do. I have been trying to simplify things a little bit so it worked out well enough.

This next image is about the police trying to get rid of Internet knife gangs, it's mostly aimed at facebook and users who have pictures showing themselves with knives.

Travel Smart Illustration.

I was recently commissioned by the Sunday Times Travel magazine to illustrate an article about the best way to protect ourselves against malaria when traveling abroad. I have just got an advanced copy of the printed magazine as shown in the above photograph. I even got to use some of my stamps!

Medical students get ipod Teachers

This is an illustration based on an article I read about the university of Derby. They are giving their medical students an ipod each, and it is loaded with demonstrations and tutorials on things like the correct way to X ray people. They have to give it back at the end of the course but I think it's a great idea if people actually use it for that purpose.

Child Friendliness survey

This image is based on a survey done in Africa, about the 'child friendliness' of each country. It takes into account things like laws and policies, spending and education. Kenya came out on top, over much richer countries like Sudan and Angola. I based it on those graphs that seem to be on every page of geography text books.

I'm thinking of changing my Website, I did make a couple of changes last week but now I'm considering a complete makeover. That means I'm going to have to study my Dreamweaver for dummies book for a while. In the meantime I'm trying to do more illustrations to add to or replace the current images on my website.

A few weeks ago I was dragged to a horse show by my parents, It was OK, for about half an hour. I think it was the incredible amounts of mud, mixed with rain and wind that put me off. I liked seeing the horses though, I managed to get a few pictures. I especially like the men in bowler hats, one of them even had a Cain, they were judging a side saddle show. I decided to make this illustration black and white because when I was there, the weather was so horrible that everything looked looked like this.

A couple of days ago I was held hostage in my house by wasps, I blame this on my dad. He went to work and left the back door open so that when I went downstairs there were 3 wasps flying around. I hate wasps, I really hate them, but I did get a picture of one.


Isn't it horrible? I was impressed with my new camera though. It hasn't gone too grainy. I thought it would, I had to zoom in really far because I was too scared to get any closer.
