I decided to revisit an old image I did over a year ago, since the colours I use in my work have got a lot brighter lately, and I thought some of my old work looked a bit tired.
The illustration is of guests at a party which has got out of hand, much to the distress of the house-proud host and hostess, who are deperately trying to hold everything together!
I also dummied the illustration up as a book cover (see below).

Here is an illustrated poster design I've done for a local amateur dramatics society which I am a member of, for their production of 'Peter Pan the Pantomime'.

The Tudor Timeline I illustrated for Hall Place Tudor House in Bexley is now on display in their Children's Gallery.
You can see the timeline in the top left of the photograph, and below are some illustrations taken from the timeline.

I used this week's illustration friday as an excuse to experiment with using textures in my work. I've always been a fan of collecting old magazines, papers, and ephemera but have rarely found a use for it in my work.
I hope that by using texture it adds an extra dimension to my work, but without fighting against the line too much.
Feedback welcomed - since this was an experiment after all!

Above is my entry for the AOI View of London Exhibition.
The 'View of London Exhibition' is being organised by the Association of Illustrators and the London Transport museum, both to celebrate the vibrancy of modern day London, and to promote Illustration as a profession.
My artwork is a series of cryptic pictorial clues which describe a selection of London Underground station names. The idea is to encourage the viewer to take a light-hearted look at tube station names, many of which are odd sounding or bizzare - however we don't give them a second thought since they are so familiar to us.
