More Map Birds - South East London

I am taking part in a little exhibition with my talented artist friends Freeda and Teresa in late September. It will be in the Oval Theatre Cafe and the the title of the show is 'Found'. I will be showing some of my Little Map Birds series, and have made a couple more of the South East area including the Oval for the show. These are slightly larger than the rest of the series, and I am hoping they will look nice when printed as I've had to send them off slightly blind due to printer problems! Fingers crossed. . The exhibition opens on the 21st of September.

Freddy and the Fairy

This is my entry to the Waterstones competition 'Picture This' to find illustrator for new Julia Donaldson book. It's been really good to make an entry as it included character design - which after the Beast of the Thames 'pulling teeth' experience - I actually really enjoyed! The competition brief was for one double page spread (above) and design for the three main characters and some beasties (below). Despite the fact that I hate bloody fairies, I think Besse Belle turned out to be my favourite. If I had time to redo the double page spread -which, of course, I don't, that would be crazy, I would vary the scale of the figures much more, as I think they all look a bit the same. I would also change the perspective so that it looked much more like the fairy was about to be dropped from a great height, and possibly put a hedgehog underneath her. Did I mention that I hate fairies?
