‘A Time to Buy’ ~ Watercolour, inks, and gouache; approx. 305 mm square.

‘It’s a time to buy
A time for shopping
Go into the store and make a choice
But everything she sees, it’s like they’re talking
Talking at her with a different voice…’

Illustration for the song, A Time to Buy, from Katie Melua‘s In Winter album.

I enjoyed the gentle satire of this song and creating the illustration for it — though not so much all the straight lines and the geometry, which are not my forte and drive me slightly mad, as those who know me well are aware. I suppose the process echoes the contradiction between the cheerful warmth and the commercially driven demands of the festive season, which I also tried to reflect in this piece.

The department store here was of course based directly on Liberty of London.

‘River‘ ~ Watercolour, inks and gouache, 305 mm square.

‘I wish I had a river I could skate away on…’

Oh, how I wish it. I don’t understand anything.

Illustration for the song, River, from Katie Melua‘s music album, In Winter, 2016.

Incidentally, ‘Natee‘ means ‘river’ or a body of water. One of the reasons this piece is a personal favourite of mine of the album illustrations.

Earlier this year, I got the chance to work on a rather exciting project; one which, as primarily a book illustrator, I had no experience in.

In Winter tour poster design. Ink and gouache on Arches hot pressed.

It was as a result of coming across The Nutcracker in a bookstore that Katie Melua got in touch with me to work with her on her new music album, In Winter; then still in progress but now to be released later this week.
