Christmas Decorations...

I've been busy making things for Berkeley Castle Craft & Gifts Fair these are some of my hand painted Christmas decorations. I can't decide what to charge for them. Does anyone have any ideas?

Stories About Santa - SilverWood Books ...

Over the last month I've been working with SilverWood Books in Bristol to illustrate one of their latest books Stories About Santa by Susannah Woodland. These are four main illustrations from Stories About Santa that will be published later this year. We're hoping they'll be ready for November 14th to be sold at the annual Berkeley Castle Charity Fair.

What do you think of them? I tried to capture some of the nostalgic magic that Christmas brings, the warmth and the comfort and the joy.

The fun starts ...

In between working 6 days a week and deciding to make a stab at running a craft stall in November, buying wooden shapes to paint (I haven't done any painting of shapes yet) and learning to drive, I have managed to fit in some illustration work. I have started the fun part, adding colour and producing nearly finished artwork (I will probably need to make final tweaks later). It's very exciting, I'm quite pleased with what I have achieved thus far. What do you think?
