I am currently working on some children's book ideas. Here you can see some sample illustrations from these, sketchbook pages and other bits and bobs.

These are poses for a character called Bridget, star of a book idea - see below.


This is a sample page from Bridget's book.


This is a character based on my eldest daughter Matilda.


An illustration from a book idea provisionally called 'Monster Dad', that arose from me trying to make sense of my childrens' inability to go to bed without a HUGE fuss.


Another Monster Dad sample.
It's not me.


Character designs from a short film "Not Long Now".
Pascal Wyse (see Animation/The Pitchers) and I made this 15 second animated film during the summer '04 for entry into the NokiaShorts competition. It was shortlisted, and has since been a regular of FutureShorts short film programmes at cinemas around the country. It also got shown before screenings of War of the Worlds in summer 2005 — I felt pretty bad about that because it kind of upstaged the Speilberg film a bit.


A still from "Not Long Now".
