Merry Christmas! But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Saviour has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord." Luke 2:10-11

Wedding Invite
Last year I had the pleasure of designing the wedding invite for friends of mine. I'm really pleased with how it turned out, so I thought I'd share a little bit of the process of making it. To start with I was given the theme of succulents and hexagons. It was fun...
New Portfolio!
It's been about two and a half years since I last updated my drawing portfolio (!) so I thought it was time to give it a refresh. What's been exciting about putting this one together is that it's all new - nothing from the last portfolio is still in it. You can take a...
Life Drawing, 12th March
Sketches of Bea from last week. Even after a relatively short break from life drawing I struggled to get back into it! There are an awful lot of drawings that won't see the light of day again. However here are a few sketches I am happy with. I particularly enjoyed...

Inktober 2018 #21 – Hermux
Hermux Tantamoq is a watchmaker who is pulled into all sorts of adventures in Michael Hoeye's books. My drawing is from Hermux in Time Stops for No Mouse, the first in the series, but my favourite is The Sands of Time.
Inktober 2018 #19 & #20 – Trennte & Jeffrey
A double update! Both characters are from The Princess of Nowhere, the first novel I ever finished writing. Trennte is the manservant of Prince Jespar, and is the prince's friend and mentor. Jeffrey is a tie. For some reason I cut Jeffrey out of the later drafts,...
