The Jungle Book

Somehow the stars have aligned and I have been entrusted with illustrating The Jungle Book for Vintage Classics. Here are some chapter headings. Eager bird. Hapless camel. Malevolent monkey. Sly tiger.

The new line of children's classics is illustrated by many of my friends and compatriots at Kingston and is due to be published in August 2012.  More info here http://www.vintage-books.co.uk/classics/VintageChildrensClassics/

Evensong

My church drawing has been on hiatus for a while but I am returning to it with paint and a open mind to walk through doors that are usually closed. 

Foundry

Drawings from Hand&Eye letterpress and foundry. I'm making a book of reportage about Hand&Eye.

Emerging

Kitchen studio. Reportage. Litho.

Sunday

Happy Sunday. I designed this psychedelic cross for a lady at my grandparents' church who cross stitches crucifixes for christenings. This weekend I've been sewing, sewing, sewing and it might not ever stop.

Slow progress

The Edge has taken over for a couple of weeks. Now it is back to the final project with gusto.

Letterpress in progress

Here's some work in progress for the Edge of Print exhibition. I typeset and printed the type at the wonderful Hand & Eye letterpress and foundry. Above is a drawing I made there, looking past the two Heidelbergs out to the street. I am so pleased to be returning to Hand & Eye for my reportage illustration project!
