Creating a chicken illustration is always fun – they have such personalities! This extract, from a larger painting, is of a bantam rooster crowing… Very similar to how I looked today coming up with a new picture book idea!

Balloon House Illustration For IBBY Australia
Work in progress (from a couple of weeks ago). This design was created for the International Board of Books – IBBY Australia’s Perth quiz night.
IBBY Australia allowed me to select a theme, so I chose a balloon house because – well – balloon houses are awesome…
The illustration was created with ink overlaid by watercolour.
See the finished version here.
Strong Lemonade…

Garden Painting for Magazine
I’ve spent a solid fifteen hours of painting this scene – not to mention the hours designing it.
It will be the opening scene for a children’s magazine serial I’m illustrating over the next 3 years.
