Tea for two




My first go at ceramic painting, these mugs were a gift for a friend's birthday (complete with two teabags and some shortbread!). I really like the words and might do a print based around them in the future: "May your days be filled with sunshine, and your nights with stardust"

Trees Are Best. Fact.




After finishing my tree book a good while ago and then losing most of it from my hard drive, this moment has felt like a long time coming! It feels amazing to finally have the book hand bound and available for sale as well as a selection of badges, handmade notebooks and leaf garlands all inspired by the original book.

As a lover of all things tree, I was daydreaming about them one sunny day, listing all the things about them I liked. In my head it sounded quite a childish list and I imagined myself as a school kid arguing with a friend about why trees were "way better than diggers". An irrational argument maybe but it didn't stop the images flowing into my head and onto the page. The images are quite varied in style as I wanted the overall book to have a sketchbook feel with a child's doodlings and represent the way their imaginations whizz from one place to another.

I have hand bound each section along the spine with different shades of green and packaged it with a nice spotty green ribbon.

I hope you like them, you can see them here.

Sloth and Bear








A couple of months ago a friend asked me to illustrate a very long illustration for her house. It was a gift to her partner charting their adventures so far with details of their lives and jokes they share running throughout the print. It was great fun to do, especially working with such fun characters!!

The Big Apple



I've produced a set of illustrations inspired by New York, you can see the rest of them here.

Russian Dolls





It was nan's birthday recently and she likes Russian dolls so I thought I'd make her a personalised set. The tiny one was extremely fiddly especially in the varnish stage!!
