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.

I've just finished a really fun project working with the very nice people at White Fox on this map for a family trail around the Drift Park in Rhyl.
The map needed to be fun but also functional, as families visiting the Drift Park will use it to find the different things to spot along the trail, and to navigate their way around the Drift Park itself.
The Leaflet is Copyright Denbighshire County Council 2011 and reproduced with their kind permission.

I exhibited at the Museums & Heritage Show earlier this month and it was a fantastic event. It was lovely to meet so many great contacts and to see people's reactions to my artwork. I hope to be involved in some exciting new projects very soon!
A big thank you to my Dad who helped me out and kept me company over the two days!
My exhibition graphics were printed by G&L Services in Sheffield, a fantastic local company and brilliant quality printing - www.glsdigital.co.uk

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 -
