Peek

Here is a sneak peek of a painting! I am working on a series of Columbia Road flower market.

The air smells green and my arms ache from the weight of cabbage roses carried home and thrust in noses.

The Jungle Book is published!

Top news! The Jungle Book has just been published, for which I illustrated chapter headings and  a bookplate. 

See more of my illustrations here: http://hannahsimpson.com/The-Jungle-Book

It has been published by Vintage Classics and is part of their new Children's Classics range. Other really good books as Peter Pan and The Wind in the Willows have been illustrated by my good friends. Check out Alice Wright's Wind in the Willows! 

It is available to buy at all good bookshops of course! 

Boxer

A quick portrait from Saturday's chessboxing training at Islington Boxing Club. This is Chris Levy who is fighting at the Royal Albert Hall on Wednesday.

6am gym session

This morning I left before the larks to draw chessboxer Sean Mooney's daily weights session. A most interesting start to the day!

Over the next week I am documenting several fighters as they prepare for a big fight night at the Royal Albert Hall.
