Sussex Roots Magazine commission.

I was asked for an illustration in the style of a mediaeval drawing which explains some of the design choices and why the perspective is off.

The final image needed to be black and white so I gave the editor a choice of black line or line and grey tones.

Cover Art for Trail Tales II - Tales from the Superior Hiking Trail.

Written and Published by Paul Kautz, it is a collection of seven short stories based around the adventures of a boy named Scout, his father and the animals they encounter.

The stories are not only entertaining but readers are also encouraged to consider how they may enjoy nature whilst minimising their impact on the world around them.

The book will be available in October.

Many years ago I was commissioned to draw a strip featuring Aqua of Barbie Girl fame.

These are the pencils for one of the two strips I drew before the publisher decided that he only wanted to pay me half the fee that I had agreed with the magazine’s editor.

After a brief argument over the phone where I was told “it doesn’t matter what my editor said I only pay XXX”, I refused to send the artwork.

I didn’t get paid but he had to scramble to find something to fill the hole in his magazine.

Needless to say, the publisher’s company didn’t last long.
