This week I have been working on a huge variety of things, including finishing (fingers crossed) two books, visiting a primary school, illustrating a story for valentines day and agreeing to take part in events from now until September. Here we have (above) some drawings by Jake and Cameron. I really like drawings of animals, and these are particularly great I thought.
Next is a small detail from a card that Linda and I are working on for the Sick Kids hospital. Linda wrote a story last week and we are hoping to get it all printed as a card, in time to hand out on valentines day which is when we are next in the hospital.
And finally...a little bit of my favourite page of Lollipop and Grandpa's Dinosaur Hunt! As ever, silly Grandpa has taken Lollipop off on a crazy adventure. This time they are at the Jurassic Coast so it's not hard to imagine what happens when Grandpa sets off to prove to Lollipop that dinosaurs aren't actually extinct. I think this book (FOURTH in the series!) will be out around April, or maybe I made that up. Today I am wearing a bobble hat in my studio. I like my bobble hat so I don't really mind that it's so flipping cold. I will now draw some more things...
I am an artist based in Edinburgh, Scotland. I work across a wide variety of disciplines and I have a BA in Printmaking and a Masters Degree in Illustration from Edinburgh College of Art, where I sometimes teach illustration students.
I am currently Artist in Residence at the Sick Kids hospital in Edinburgh where I try to do drawings to make the patients feel better.
I illustrate the LOLLIPOP AND GRANDPA series of books, published by Phoenix Yard, and have also illustrated for Frances Lincoln, Walker Books, Barrington Stoke and Hachette.
I have enjoyed being the in-house designer for both of the amazing Edinburgh shops Paper Tiger and Studio One since 2011.
I am registered with the Scottish Book Trust and Live Literature as a visiting Illustrator, and have a lot of experience in running workshops and events in Primary schools, libraries and book festivals.
I am available for commission so please get in touch if you have any enquiries.
