I Say, ...
Love and Hate
For my latest Gardeners' World illustration I was asked to depict our illogical preference for one animal over the next. A flock of doves is a beautiful thing, but a woodpigeon, a grey squirrel or rabbit are often considered pests and not enjoyed to the same degree. Perhaps it is what they do that is the problem rather than what they look like?
Cover art for C-ville Weekly
Happy New Year! 2013 is off to an auspicious start for me already with my first cover for C-ville hitting the stands today. It's my first cover for anything available locally like this, and it's really cool to drive around town and see my artwork everywhere! This is a slight departure from my usual work, but the art director wanted to avoid using any gun imagery after the recent shootings in New Haven. When we met, he had already worked out the idea of a cave painting and showing the women from the article with bows and arrows.

A Well-Kept Home
Latest work for Utah Adventure Journal. Had fun with the 50's retro approach and limited color palette. Below are a few of my initial sketches before hitting on the final idea.

The Green Man
Since reading 'The Magic Spring', an excellent book about English folklore by Richard Lewis, I have become increasingly interested in these 'traditional' stories. The tale of The Green Man is especially inspirational for an Illustrator-a spirit of the woodland, made of leaves, surrounded by nature. So with that in mind I created this painting...
Running Addiction: Utah Adventure Journal
Latest editorial illustration for Utah Adventure Journal for an article on the difficulty of giving up running for other outdoor activities. I thought a mobius strip was a pretty good representation for any kind of addiction or habit we have trouble breaking. I had a lot of fun on this project and even used it for my last post card campaign. The image actually looks good no matter how its oriented and I liked the idea of sending something like that on a post card since it invites the viewer to turn it around and look at it from all sides.

Gardeners' World Magazine
It isn't really the weather to be out in the garden, but here is an illustration I recently did for Gardeners' World Magazine.
The Long Arm of the Law
For my latest Living France magazine illustration, I was asked to depict
a speeding incident of the columnist, Karen Wheeler. Whilst zooming
around the French countryside she failed to notice the speed limit, but
was certainly noticed by the local gendarme. Luckily for her, she and
her pet dog were sent on their way with nothing more than a slap on the
wrist.
Birdwatching
A pair of collared doves are regular visitors to my back garden and
over the past few weeks I've often seen them huddled up during a heavy
downpour. I felt they deserved to be drawn and here is the artwork.
NZ Road Trip
This image is an attempt to summarise my journey around New Zealand.
My girlfriend and I spent most of the time in the rental car (a Nissan
Sunny which was probably the same age as me), weaving round the rolling
hills and steep mountains. A land that consists of beautiful green
meadows and bubbling mud pools next to imposing volcanoes is a feast for
the senses. Go there!
