Blast from the past....


Some of my illustrative work ....done in gouache, colouring pencil and pencil ....


Pencil drawing and gouache painting of Butch my brother's Jack Russell who loved a good sing song ......if you asked him to sing he would throw his head back and howl forever .....such a little character .....







This is a colouring pencil illustration of a poem I love .......

These are some experiments with plastics and stitch .........





Went up into the depths of the attic yesterday and came across some art I made for my A level exam ....only in 2000 though I was late doing it but they are experiments with plastic .......quite interesting so thought I would post them here also thought you may like to see some of my illustrations gouache and pencil ....I trained as a pictorial illustrator back in the day at Swansea College of Art then specialised in botanical for my final ...many happy days spent in Singleton botanical gardens drawing and painting.....one of these days I may illustrate a book maybe now's the time ...who knows ......hope you enjoy seeing these they don't get aired enough...x
