Doodle Abstract Paintings

My starting Doodles

I've been developing my abstract style based on some of my doodles. I think I am going to be very busy as I have loads, this first image is a glimpse of where I start and the final 3 abstract paintings are where you can see the designs and how I used them. As you can see I add bits and take bits out as I develop my painting. I am really looking forward to painting some more. The artist that has most influenced my abstract work is Paul Klee.

Lion's Heart & Lemongrass

Lion's Heart & Lemongrass

I've just finished a lovely book cover commission and couldn't wait to post it. Lion's Heart & Lemongrass is a dark fantasy novel written by Jasper Smithey and will be published shortly. I loved every minute of this project and can't wait to read the book. Jasper is working on 2 other titles at the moment and I've been asked to illustrate these also.

I'll post again when this is available to purchase.

Sneak Preview - Christmas Cards

I've been designing some Christmas cards to target some companies and thought I would just give a sneak preview of one of them. I really like snowmen, so created a series of cards with this theme.  Acrylic paint, pen work and paper trees - all scanned in and finalised in Photoshop.

Inside Book Illustration

My All

I recently completed a commission for a short story illustration. The image was created using watercolour, graphite crayon, charcoal, pen and acrylic paint and as always finalised in Photoshop. The story had a slightly dark tone so I wanted to try and capture this feeling in the work.

I decided to put together a portfolio of illustrations that I'm currently working on for Wolverhampton University's School of Science. Eventually I will put this on my website, but for now ...

Fame at Last :) well almost ...

Browsing on the internet and came across the latest Fresh Magazine from Wolverhampton Uni. It seems someone liked my image (Page 6) and Toni's which is on Page 7. Also found quite a good site called issuu.com where you can browse lots of illustration portfolios and magazines for free + free to sign up and pretty inspiring.
