What ho everyone,
Here’s the latest image of mine to be placed in The Kemptown Rag
For your visual pleasure, found in the archives of an abandoned library, a dusty Blue Print of a Gangs of New York style plan to divide Kemp Town according to warring Creature factions.
Happy New year to you all.
It’s going to be an exciting year I can tell you. I know at least 10 people expecting little ones this year, including one expectant boy who is now overdue.
In my world I am working on a few things. Rabbit (above) is a character from a book I am writing at the moment. I’m also doing more work on my 26 Background Project as well as more illustrations for the Kemptown Rag.
I’m definitely going to create more prints for my ETSY Shop and Exhibit again at this years Brighton Festival Art Trail as well as posting more news and drawings.
Hope you all have a great year, whatever it brings you, and get in touch if you want to know more, like to chat,or would like me to draw something for you.
See you soon.

What ho everyone,
It’s been a busy run up to December. I’ve managed to do loads of drawings and the like, so in the spirit of keeping you all up-to-date, here is the news:
Delivering Cards to your Door
Having a little think about my Christmas cards this week I managed to co-erce my creature helper into providing a delivery service to all the residents of the city centre of Brighton and Hove. So, if you order any number of card packs from my website and live in Brighton, I will send my delivery monkey direct to your door.
The new ETSY Shop 
I have set up a new ETSY Shop and have display a few of my prints there. If you don’t live in Brighton it’s a great way to get your hands on some Potting Christmas cards too.
More News…
Just to remind you all I have a little Book out which is available at LULU. It’s a great treat for big and small kids alike.
You can see my latest creatures published in the Kemptown Rag, my local monthly news magazine, which I have been contributing to for the past 6 months.
I’m working on a little book at the moment and hope to be able to say more in my next news post.
I’m also available to take on commissions. Please just get in touch if you have something you want me to draw for you,
Everyone please feel free to use any of my images for non-commercial use. The Christmas card images would make great e-cards. All I ask is that you credit me when you do so.
And Finally…
Happy Christmas to one and all.

The Hamster King is back in his cage, but for how long?
Here’s the second of my Christmassy backgrounds.
It’s a update of the Moose!
Hello to you my friends,
I’ve been busy, busy over the past month creating some Christmas Cards (Of all things!) but I’ve neglected to keep posting, my apologies.
The next couple of posts are examples of my Christmas cards with detailed wintery backgrounds.
I don’t generally like to even talk about Christmas before December but I know some of you like to buy your cards early so I will be putting up a new page on the website with all the designs this weekend. You will be able to buy a pack of all 6 cards for £5 plus postage.
I’ve done all my Christmas cards on a great Free source vector programme call InkScape. Firstly drawn in pencil and scanned in before being coloured in Inkscape.
The first is a Little Fat Robin.
What ho everyone.
I’m a week behind on my 26 backgrounds (so expect another next week) so sorry about that.
This time I have been wrestling with my 2 free picture programmes – Gimp and inkscape. You get really different results from the two and I’m not sure which I like best. Vector graphs (Inkscape) look great but don’t seem as warm as raster imaging (Gimp), well as far as I use them anyway. Which is your favourite? Take a look (there’s only 2 pictures this time).
This picture of a little bunny curled up in the hollow of a tree is based on a lovely Richard Scarry drawing.

Owl looked on with his disapproving eyes, He didn’t like the look of the new people coming to share his abode!
Here’s me latest background. Again 3 of them for you to peruse. One a little more wacky than the rest this time. Which is your favourite?

Pieces the cat looked on and watched her ship sink into the waves as she took refuge from the elements and contemplated revenge.
3 new pictures for your delectation, which is your favourite?
