Published!

Amazingly, I haven’t written a blog post about this yet. Last year (or possibly before that), I saw on the Zeixs website that they were accepting submissions for their Illustration book based on character design. Back then I was still new to the whole illustration thing but I decided to give it a go with only a few characters under my belt. I heard nothing back so I forgot all about it. Then a couple of months back a friend, who also submitted work, was googling her name to make sure her website came up with it, when she came across a strange german link. Upon clicking it she discovered that we both had been published in the book!!

I didn’t quite believe it but I rushed on to Amazon and bought a copy. Lo and behold, there I was. Unfortunately some time had passed so the web link I provided was no longer in use, but hey who cares… I’m in a book! :)

Here’s a really bad photo of my pages…

Shopping for Monsters!

I’ve always loved this monster I created a while back so I decided to add him to my shop. What do you think? I particularly like the iphone case :D

Monster Revealed!

A little while ago I participated in the first Monstrouscollab, which features 20 illustrators each tasked with creating a monster. The print is now on sale here…

…and all proceeds are going to the NSPCC. Go now!

Monster Monster!

A little while ago I was picked to get involved in a collaborative project run by Thomas Bates (his blog is here: http://www.ilovemonsters.co.uk/blog/ ) with about 25 illustrators…

(Taken from Thomas’ blog:)

The idea behind the project was to get a bunch of illustrators (approx. 25) and collab on one illustration. So I created Monster Mountain and have been asking interested illustrators to add a monster that can interact with the background (also they can add to the background if they wish). So there are around 25 illustrators taking part and half have added their monster already. The idea is that once the collaboration is finished, it will be printed as a limited edition A2 poster and sold for charity, but this will depend on several variables. So fingers crossed everything goes well!

At the moment my Monster is done but waiting to be added to the poster, so I thought I’d post a little teaser (I won’t show my monster in full until the poster is finished and revealed to the world!)
