A very Nosy Crow




It's been really exciting and fun to have been working on a book with everyone at Nosy Crow these past few months. They've just released their Cinderella app which is wonderful and keeps my two kids quiet. The artwork is just gorgeous and there's lots to play with. You can change the colour of Cinderella's ballgown and magic up your own coach!

When I went to Nosy Crow's office I saw lots of different crow pictures that various illustrators had done. Never to be left out I though I'd try my hand at my own. I love the idea of a Crow super sleuth - if I ever get around to putting pen to paper.

Oh No it isn't! Oh yes it is! It's Panto time.

It's my 4th year producing the marketing and poster artwork for The Theatre Royal Winchester. It's great fun working for these guys as they are committed to using artwork instead of photography and they're really creative and fun in their approach. The panto is consistently a huge success for them every year and I'm glad to be a small part of that. They generally give me a pretty open ended brief - fun, family panto, eye catching. I always relish the challenge. This year its Cinderella, the BIG one. Here's a selection of very rough roughs, thought about roughs and artwork.
