I've just had a meeting with Laurence King Publishing to talk about an amaaazing new project that will be taking over my life for the next few months. I can't wait to tell you all about it.
They gave me this gorgeous book to keep me company on the long journey home.

I dropped by the YCN studio & shop (72,Rivingdon St <-- you should go check it out!!) to catch up with some of the great minds behind the agency & I signed a stack of my artist cards whilst I was there too..

Vertigo, a hot new Russian sunglasses company recently got in touch and asked me to create a series of posters for their debut styles. I've seen the prototypes and I for one can't wait to get my hands on a pair!! Images of the posters to follow very soon.

Here's a sneaky peek at my latest 2D/3D illustration. It's my entry for the DACS United campaign which will be exhibited in NYC later this year. I'll upload the finished illustration as soon as DACS release it.

Lowri Davies has to be one of my favourite Welsh artists. Her beautiful ceramic work makes my heart melt over and over, and she somehow manages to make drinking tea even more appealing. So you can only imagine how pleased I was when she got in touch the other day.
Lowri, Gwenno Jones and Carwyn Evans make up the Welsh collective 'Celf...a chrefft' and they've asked me to join them for their next exhibition at the National Eisteddfod, which is held in Wrexham this year. I will be exhibiting four new original pieces with them, as well as prints and cards for the event which runs 30/07/11 - 06/08/11.

Work in progress

The lovely people at Derwent have sent me all these amazing products. There's some things in there that I've never used before, so I can't wait to start using them - I'll show you how I get on.

Look what just came through the letter box!! As I'm lucky enough to be represented by YCN, my work has been featured on a limited series of postcards produced by the agency. Here's mine...

I'm rediculously excited to announce that I'm now officially sponsored by the brilliant Derwent. I've been using their pencils for as long as I can remember, so it's an absolute honor for me to be representing them and their products.
More info to follow soon...

Designers Against Child Slavery

I'm teaming up with 'Designers Against Child Slavery' in an attempt to do my bit to help such a worthy cause. Every year DACS United have an exhibition to help raise money and awareness about sex trafficking in South East Asia. I was thrilled and flattered that they asked me to take part, as past exhibitions have been stacked full of beautiful art by very talented artists.
The exhibition will be held in New York in a few months.
Here's a post about me on their blog

And here's their website

Work in progress

My latest 'work' purchase has just arrived in the post. Can't wait to reacquaint my self with these babies. I love my job.

Work in progress

Just been to pick up some more Canson papers. It's looking like my summer exhibitions are going to be pretty colourful.

Work in progress

I joined Behance a couple of weeks ago and last week was over the moon to see that my profile had been featured on the front page. As a result the last week has been a bit manic for me. My work has been spotted all over the world on blogs and websites and I've been inundated with emails and requests ever since.
The project I uploaded has been viewed by over 13,000 people already, here it is if you'd like to see it ---> here

Hey everyone. Next week I'll be updating here & my site with some of my latest finished illustrations. Until then, here's another update of what I'm drawing at the moment. I hope you like.

here's some more work in progress - before I hit the felt tips

So amongst other things, I've started work on the images for my up and coming summer exhibitions. Here's a glimpse of what I'm drawing right now on this beautiful evening in Paris.

For those of you that think I only ever draw pretty young girls...I was recently commissioned to illustrate a series of portraits (none of which fit the above description) for a publication via Haymarket Media. The 11 portraits are almost finished now so I'll show you them when I can, but until then, here's a bit of one.
