Woman's Weekly

A couple of recent Woman's Weekly articles I've illustrated.

Perrycroft

Spent a perfect Sunday wandering around the garden of Perrycroft, in the Malvern's. It's only open two days a year but it's well worth a visit. Not only does it have 10 acres of gorgeous gardens to walk around, you get to gaze at the amazingly lovely house too, and imagine yourself living there (which really isn't difficult). We also enjoyed a lovely cup of tea and the best chocolate cake I've ever tasted, I didn't want to leave!

Thanks to the wonderful Tinsmiths' blog for letting us know about it :)

Naughty Toes

It's been a long time coming but I can announce that Naughty Toes, a book that I illustrated back in 2009, is now available in all good bookshops (Well, it was available a couple of months ago now, I'm a little late!) Written by Ann Bonwill and published by Oxford University Press.

Buy it here from Amazon

Stay tuned for news of my latest picture book coming soon...

A brief interlude

With the exhibition preparation all done and successfully put up we took ourselves away with some friends for a blustery week in the Isle of Skye. It was absolutely amazing and am now feeling refreshed to get back on with things and keep this blog updated!! I have a backlog of things I need to post.

If you haven't already, make sure you go and check out our exhibition Full Steam Ahead at the Here Gallery, Bristol. It's on until the 4th June. A big thanks to those of you who came to the private view it was a lovely evening, I shall try and get hold of some pictures of it.

Here are some pics that have been taken by the Here Gallery of our work

Feature in the Bristol magazine, Venue, of the exhibition

Do come along

Tom and myself are hard at work at the moment getting things together for our first joint exhibition starting on the 12th May at the Here Gallery. I'm quite nervous about it all but I'm sure it will all work out just beautifully when the time comes. Hope you will be able to come along. Preview night will be 12th May, it would be great to see you there!

Happy Spring!

Hello lovely people! It's feeling beautifully springy today. Hope everyone has sunshine to enjoy.

Coming up shortly some exciting news about a joint exhibition I'm having with the delightful Tom Frost. (If you've not already read about it on Tom's blog ;))

Falmouth Illustration: The Retrospective

Don't miss out on this exhibition currently on at the Illustration Cupboard in London featuring work by former students of the Falmouth College of Arts Illustration course, myself included. It was lovely to meet up with the other graduates at the opening night last Thursday, see some pics here.
