My most recent illustration for the ‘Santa’ book I’m working on. This is for the bottom of the first page, the same page as the Santa illo from a previous post.

The top image was painted quite a few years ago, but I quite like it, so I’m adding it here for that reason.
The Santas image is a small part of a page for a book I’m working on at the moment. It’s great fun and it’s making me long for the UK when Christmases were spent in front of a fire cos’ it’s cold outside. Here in Oz, we have barbeques at Christmas!!!!! I tell ya.

I’ve been really busy this past week, sorry for not adding anything, I also haven’t really had time to sketch either, but I’ve been going through all my old art and came across this. I’ve always quite liked this drawing although I feel i’ve moved on a bit artistically-it’s about 7 years old….

I’ve had this image on the go for the past year or so and it’s finally finished and in the spirit of all things BLOG, I’m adding it here for the world to see.

One of my publishers has asked for some fairy stuff for me to pitch for a job today, this is what I’ve got so far, not quite finished, probably another 2-3 more hours to go, so I’ve added it as a WIP. wish me luck….

I’ve been doing a lot of my inking on the PC lately. This was 1/2 drawn for my Pegasus project and 1/2 drawn for my students at the school who I taught inking to yesterday. What a great class, all the kids (15 yrs old) are great students, receptive and talented. I come home from there on a great high.

This image is the painting for the VERY rough sketch i posted yesterday, I enjoyed working on this as I used the oil brushes in Painter, which is a little different for me. I worked just as I do with real oil paints, no layers etc. crits and comments very welcome.

This messy delight was doodled in Corel Painter for my next free-time digital painting for my ‘Pegasus’ project. If you can make head or tail (pardon the pun…ahem…) of what it is and what I was getting at-good on you!!! Although, there’s more than enough info here for me to work from. I’m really enjoying loosening up with painter’s pencil option-very freeing stuff.
