The Laughing Problem by Jo Rivard

William of Orange and his faithful citizens.

In trouble again...

A boy named Hogg..

I did a small set of drawings recently for a talented new writer called Jo Rivard, who has written a very funny series of books about a brother and sister called Max and Millie. In 'The Laughing Problem' Max and his best friend Colin have problems keeping a straight face in class when their wild imaginations run away with them... We've all been there. They get into all sorts of trouble with teachers and Mums, and worst of all, girls. It was lots of fun to illustrate - good luck with the book Jo!

Mr Elephant

Kitten Sketch

Another one

More Kitties

More Moggies

Monkeys

I'm working on my portfolio at the mo - therefore, monkeys.

Reluctant Snow Cat

Uh oh.

Beach Wander

These are three small canvases I have made for an exhibition with my fellow Illustration students from Camberwell College of Art. The exhibition is called 'Play Room', and will take place at DreamSpace Gallery near Old Street Tube, London, starting on 10th March. The images are made up from a combination of photographic transfer and mixed media.

Pigeons

Trafalgar Square Penguin Party

An invasion at Trafalgar Square. I still feel a bit confused about where I am going with my work - it's a bit amorphous, I don't feel that my illustration style has settled down into something instantly recognizable as mine. But now the Research paper is more or less finished, I am very happy to get back to the important business of drawing penguins.
