The Gift by Justine Crow // Transmitter Magazine – Christmas Edition 2014

So back in November 2014 (which seems like a very long time ago now!) I created these illustrations to accompany a short story by Justine Crow for Transmitter Magazine, a local magazine created just up the hill in Crystal Palace about all things Crystal Palacey. The story features mysterious presents, a monkey friend and a dark spirit. You can read it in the digital version of it in the magazine below (full screen the magazine and skip to page 58).

Twas a brilliant little project, turns out drawing monkeys is fun! Which is of course obvious and I have no idea why I hadn't realised it before. This dancing little fellow was a pleasure to create indeed.

Folio Society & House of Illustration Competition 2015 // The Folio Collection of Ghost Stories

So I started the year as I have for the past few years, head down and focussed on finishing my drawings for the Folio Society and House of Illustration Book Illustration Competition. Though this year I only heard about the competition a few days before Christmas so it was a seriously mad dash to the finish line. 

Four drawings from conception to completion in two weeks. The last image was completed in 8 hours, setting a new personal best for speed of full page illustration creation! They are based on so a series of creepy old ghost stories, lots of spooky unseen beasts lurk in the depths, mwahahahaha. The three stories and a summary of the book can be read here.

I hope you like my drawings and keep those fingers crossed for me!
