I have been working on this illustrated reconstruction of the tomb of Tutankhamun for several months now and it became something of a labour of love. It required an extensive amount of research to try and piece together where all the different objects were situated, and how they were coloured.

I am very grateful to the Griffith institute at the University of Oxford, who have uploaded Howard Carter's original notes, artefact database and Harry Burton's photographs to their website. This amazing online resource is well worth a visit, you can find it here - Tutankhamun: Anatomy of an Excavation

Below are some close-ups of parts of the tomb -

OLD VERSION


NEW VERSION


I've finally re-designed and tidied up my website; as you can see the layout is pretty much the same, but I have changed the text and images to pull everything better together and give the site more of a slick appearance.

I've also cut down the selection of work pretty ruthlessly, so that main web pages only show what I consider to be my strongest work. However you can still find all of the old stuff on the blog.

The Ruskin Gallery at Sheffield's Millennium Galleries is reopening next week after a major refurbishment. As part of this I was commissioned to create am illustrated cat character based on 'Puss', John Ruskin's cat.

Ruskin mentions in his diaries that Puss used to play with his fob watch, as shown in this illustration.

I created 5 illustrations in total, to be used on a family trail for the new Ruskin Gallery - hopefully Puss will be popular with visitors!

SIDE ONE


SIDE TWO


I've recently completed this double sided children's quiz sheet for Castle Howard. They wanted to revamp their existing quiz so it featured their children's mascot Geoffrey the lion, and to make it brighter and more appealing to children.

Side one is 'Geoffrey's Picture Hunt' where children have to spot the paintings as they look around the castle; side two is wordsearch puzzles.
