True Stories


Here is my finished entry for the Cheltenham illustration awards. Had lots of fun making this, especially with the dinosaur, which could become a new favourite thing to draw - especially as 'well, I do need to draw some dinosaurs' is just the best excuse to hang out in the Natural History Museum for a day. Or two.

when i saw the small version of this i thought capon what on earth is going on here?! in a good way - intruige. but then viewing the large one it all makes sense.

brilliant.

the other day i took a boy drawing at the museum. he was telling me a crazy story and i thought mm. this boy has a very active, odd, imagination. then in dawned on me that he was describing a special happening on world of warcraft!

this was related to 'pets'. one of which was a dribbling baby octopus that was described as 'cute'.

btw i'm enjoying the tag 'toilet paper' on this post.
