Midkemia: The Chronicles of Pug

At the end of 2012, working with the lovely MinaLima, I had the fantastic job of illustrating 30 maps for Raymond E. Feist's Midkemia book. The book is a visual compendium that relates to Raymond's series of fictional novels, and was produced by Harper Collins. It was really nice to spend a great deal of time drawing all the elements in pen and ink, and get away from the computer for the bit!

John Lewis Christmas Advert

I had the fantastic opportunity to be involved in this years beautiful John Lewis Christmas Advert. Working with the very talented modelmakers I created illustrations of foliage, which where etched in metal and then lovingly dressed into the set. I've included a small section of one of the etching sheets to show how it works. You can see the final ivy, ferns and branches in the still above. I also created the clock face graphic for the miniature John Lewis alarm clock featured at the end.

A Compendium of Collective Nouns

Earlier this year, working with the wonderful MinaLima,  I did some spot illustrations for the beautiful book 'A Compendium of Collective Nouns' by woop studios. I throughly enjoyed illustrating nouns such as a flash of paparazzi and a superfluity of nuns. The book was published by Chronicle Books.

John Lewis Prints

I'm very excited to announce that John Lewis are now selling my children's prints online! There are 9 animals and 4 fruit prints in the collection.

Frankenweenie Graphics

 

I was very lucky to get the chance to work on Tim Burton's wonderful film Frankenweenie.
It was a dream job for me as I got to research lots of lovely mid-century graphic design, and spend over a year illustrating and creating graphics for the film. This meant designing anything from book covers to burger wrappers! As the film was in black and white it was a fun challenge working in a limited tonal range.

Hungry Moth

There are some very hungry moths munching their way through all my good knitwear at the moment. I may be very cold this winter, unless they all leave soon!

Rabbit and Bear Camping

I've been getting very excited about my holiday to Canada, and imagining what camping will be like there. So this is the scene in my head; a bear toasting marshmallows and a rabbit playing the due south theme tune on the piano. 

The Art of Frankenweenie Exhibition

Although Frankenweenie is not out until October you can see some of my graphics in this clip about the touring exhibition. If you look closely, you can particularly see some of the posters in the classroom. This was my favourite set to work on as it involved lots of crayons, card and glue - if only I got to do that everyday!

Sad Corgi!

Ski Poster

I went to see Tim Burton's new film Dark Shadows last night and I was very excited to see that my Ski Poster made it onto screen for at least 3 seconds! Watch out for the train sequence!

Monsieur Hermit Crab in Paris

It's been over a month since I last posted something- naughty Lucy! This is Monsieur Hermit crab in his home town of Paris. I have been playing around with slightly brighter colours.
