I now realise I have a back log of artwork to post! Firstly I had better tie up the lose end from my previous WIP post. Here is the, now complete, painting called 'Catching Butterflies' Catching Butterflies Watercolour & Gouache 24 x 31cm I used three distinct techniques to paint this whimsical image of a stoat chasing butterflies. The first was to work wet in wet to build up the soft trees in the background, I had to be very careful not to encroach on the hat and net.

In the 1960s, illustrators suddenly became much better at painting action. Contrast this illustration of a tennis player from 1956.with this illustration of a tennis player from 1961: Bernie Fuchs for Sports Illustrated It's hard to believe two such different approaches were popular just a few years apart. They seem to come from different worlds. Prior to the 1960s, illustrators often tried to capture action the way a camera did, simply freezing the scene: Occasionally illustrators might try to

With the end of 2014 near, it’s time to reflect on what happened in design. We said goodbye to a design legend, and witnessed the legal battle of one of the top font foundries. Website trends aimed to delight, and minimalist design prevailed. The resurgence of the handmade continued — and got a little messier. 1.) RIP Massimo Vignelli. Massimo Vignelli, one of the greatest designers of the 20th century, passed away.

Sometimes I find it best to just strip everything back in an illustration, and focus on simple linework. These were great fun to draw, in the style of a study (though they weren't from reference) and arrange some lovely intersecting shapes with the two contrasting line colours. I often spend hours on illustrations, and they can become overworked - it's good to shake that feeling off with a few loose sketches and to have something finished within a few minutes!

Still catching up with my art back log. Here's another painting for you: Air Mail Watercolour / Gouache 24 x 31cm Again these two characters feature in 'A Quarter Past One On Platform Ten' in the top left swooping under the arched station roof. I'd like to think there are different birds used to deliver post depending on the destination, maybe seagulls for the coast, an albatross for long over sea journeys (especially in the North) and an owl for night dispatch.

We come to the end of another year. People say that illustration is a disadvantaged art because the illustrator's imagination is subordinate to the sponsor, the art director, the publisher and the paying readership. But time and again we see that an illustrator manages to focus on the part of the picture that really interests him or her the most. This is the redemption of illustration.

I often get asked about my creative process, especially with regards to illustrating picture books; but it's not always easy to explain everything without sitting down and talking for an hour or two. So when Cargo Publishing asked if I could give a little insight into my picture book illustration process and talk about the early concept art for The Lavender Blue Dress, I thought it would be a great opportunity to get everything down on paper and share some of my advice.
