Another editorial illustration, this time experimenting with watercolour textures instead of purely flat colour.

Self initiated piece inspired by the Telegraph article 'Snakes and white rabbits: list of bizarre things that students leave behind'.

The article is about the weird and wonderful things that have been left behind by students when they move out of their student accommodation. These range from things you might expect such as Ipods, from things you certainly wouldn't expect such as a parrot and a snake!

Self promotional editorial illustration inspired by the Telegraph article 'For Richer and for Even Poorer', which talks about how people are cutting back on their wedding spending because of the credit crunch.

The article made me think of the rhyme 'Daisy, Daisy give me your answer do', which has the lines 'It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage, but you'll look sweet, upon the seat, of a bicycle made for two.'

The illustration shows a bride and groom riding a tandem bicycle to save money, instead of opting for a classic car, a limousine or a carriage.

Self-promotional Editorial illustration inspired by the Guardian Article 'Street Clutter Threat to Conservation Areas'.

The nicest streets in England are gradually being wrecked – sinking under a tide of ­plastic windows, concrete roof tiles, replacement doors, satellite dishes, smashed-out front gardens and streetscapes cluttered with ugly broken paving, bollards, barriers and traffic signs. This is the verdict of English Heritage, which has for the first time included England's 9,300 conservation areas in its annual register of historic sites at risk, which is published today.
