Exhibit In Italy

Thank you to Giorgia Atenzi for inviting me to exhibit at her event in Italy this May!
The event website is here

The Illustration was to be inspired by the theme of a 'Circus Without Animals' and will be part of the Festival in Sardinia, Italy. The Festival itself is an educational 3 day circus themed event with music, performance art, circus acts (without animals!), Illustration stalls where kids can be creative, and all sorts of other creative workshops where you can learn how to juggle, stilt walk, etc.

Sounds like fun!! I wish I could post myself with my Illustration!!! I will just have to look forward to seeing the event online!

Thank you again Giorgia for the invite and good luck!

NSPCC Commission

I have just realised I haven't blogged about the commission I had from the NSPCC!

Unfortunately I am not allowed to share any of the artwork with anyone! (it's part of my contract!) Which is a shame but hopefully once the mail pack has been printed I should be able to share it with you all!!! :)

The commission was to design about 20 illus for a mail pack that is to be sent out around the country aimed to encourage people to donate to the charity. So it may well be popping through a door near you soon!! Can't wait to receive mine! :D

In other news I have been beavering away at some other illus that I will be posting shortly! One for a lovely little boys bedroom and another for a 'circus without animals' in Italy :)

busy as a bee! :D
