Here are a couple of pictures of the final Bolton Castle Children's Guide. It's a 16 page booklet, full colour, and every page is packed full of information, activities and eye catching colourful illustrations.
The booklets were beautifully printed by Adam Swift at Print Revolution and he's done a fantastic job. If you like the look of these then I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

I've been working on a very enjoyable project for CAFOD to illustrate a series of 20 Children's liturgy colouring sheets which can be downloaded from CAFOD's website for use by church and school groups.
The colouring sheet illustrations link into the theme of the liturgy each week and vary from biblical scenes to pictures showing CAFOD's work.
Here are three of the colouring sheets, I will be putting the rest on my website.
You can visit the CAFOD website and download the colouring sheets here.

( 3 / 72 )All creative people occasionally get days when inspiration is lacking. Often it's when you've been working on a project for a long period of time and it just starts to seem a bit stale. This happened to me a couple of weeks ago and I decided to take a break and do something completely different.
I made some random splashes of ink on lots of sheets of paper and waited for them to dry. Then I looked at the splodges to see if I could find any inspiration in them! As I looked at the seemingly random blobs, figures and animals started to loom out of the page - and here are some of the results!
A charming duck!
A glamorous, slightly 1920s looking woman
Woman with fur hat and suitcase walking
A ram
This would be a great activity to try if you want to do something quick and sketchy and to shake things up a bit. It would also be a good activity to do with children or with adults who are new to drawing/lack confidence.

I'm pleased to announce that the children's guide book I have been working on for Bolton Castle in North Yorkshire is now finished and on sale at Bolton Castle!
Bolton Castle already has a good range of children's activities and trails on offer, but wanted to develop these further and offer a children's 'Guide Book' full of facts and puzzles for younger visitors to complete as they explore the Castle and then take home with them at the end of the day.
The Children's Guide is a 16 page book with fun facts, questions and puzzles relating to different areas of the Castle. It is colourful and fully illustrated throughout.
The book introduces Charlie the Chough who is your guide around the Castle. Charlie is inspired by the Chough on the Bolton Castle Coat of Arms.

This is an illustration I recently completed for an article in Wiltshire Life Magazine. The article tells the story of the 'Malefactors of Gore Cross' (a group of highwaymen) and how they were apprehended.
