'I am Jake' is printed!

In my last post I showed some artwork from the book "I am Jake" that I recently illustrated for Orkney Young Carers...well it's here! Ta Daaaah! It's finally printed and has been distributed all across Orkney schools and drama groups. I am so proud to have been part of something that was not only written by my mother, but that it is also going to help in children's education all across my home town! I hope they enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed drawing it.

I am Jake

Some recent freelance work that I produced for a novel written by Pamela Beasant, for the Orkney Young Carers. It was called "I Am Jake". The story was set in Orkney, and centred around a young boy who cares for his disabled brother. I really loved doing this, I hope you enjoy!

A New Door Opens

A birthday present for a friend who's made a lot of amazing and scary changes recently.

New work

A selection of some of my more recent doodles. I've been taking a lot of inspiration from my childhood growing up on the island of Orkney. I hope i'll get a lot more of these doodles up here soon, i'm loving drawing my home.

Black cat...

Another cat sketch - just trying to get to grips with the style and the character - this one seems to enjoy being drawn :)

Super Secret New Project

I've been completely snowed under with work for the past few months, so I've let my personal work slip a bit. However, now I have the drawing bug again, i've decided to channel it into a very personal, personal project. It's nowhere near blog worthy as of yet, but i've been beavering away with it for a while now, and I hope that i'll have a lot more posts to follow. For now, here's a very early preliminary sketch of my main character...what do you think?
