WilliamMorrisGallery-1200William Morris Gallery, Walthamstow, where the first event in conjunction with the publication of Pictura: Faeries (an in-progress snippet of which I shared here) will be held in early October. I visited it and spoke to one of the curators on Thursday.

WilliamMorrisGalleryPlaque-700I will be giving a short talk about my work and doing a little drawing/colouring with attendees. I will of course post details here nearer the time.

TailpieceP20c-900wmTailpiece for How the Whale got his Throat, in Rudyard Kipling’s Just So Stories, published in a limited edition of 1,000 copies by The Folio Society, 2012. Sepia ink on Fabriano Artistico hot pressed watercolour paper.

I decided to cast a coelacanth in the role of the ‘Stute fish. He also appears next to the whale in another illustration from the same story which was used as the book’s frontispiece. I am less happy with that illustration and haven’t yet shared it here. Perhaps I shall see whether either my courage or an appeal from the readers will prompt me to later.

Pencil on Fabriano hot pressed watercolour paper, 2.5 x 3.5 inches.

A tribute to Darwin the Allosaurus from Blackgang Chine, drawn ‘accurately’ at the suggestion of my friend, Marc. I ought to have posted this here upon completion a little while ago, but I had hoped to draw his companions, Wallace and Oscar, too, and post them all together at once. But perhaps it is best that I posted Darwin alone now. The others will follow in due course.

TabuTale1-1100wm

… a big, lean, grey wolf jumped out…

Illustration for The Tabu Tale, from Rudyard Kipling’s Just So Stories, published in a limited edition of 1,000 copies by The Folio Society, 2012. Watercolour on Saunders Waterford hot pressed, 170 x 235mm.

This illustration and the one for The Beginning of the Armadillos combined a more painterly treatment for the background with detailed work on the animals. The approach is quite different from most of the other illustrations in the book and is a slight departure from my usual methods, but I very much enjoyed it and would like to pursue it further.

doodles, Dragons, sketches

ImageMy dragons are little more than ornamented theropods. Not terribly inventive, but fun to draw. This is another of those drawings which began as a warm-up/doodle, but which, as someone wonderfully described, ‘got away from me’.

Pencil on handmade Khadi paper, approximately 8.5 x 7cm.
