Max The Monster

-


I have illustrated a lot of children's books. My inspiration for my work was from many English and American children's book illustrators. I love Babette Cole, Quentine Blake, Richard Scarry, Ronald Searle, Maurice Sendak and many more children's artists. I remember in college looking at their work and thinking about my work being published one day. This was a dream!




Well, I was published and a little book I did with an American writer, Brad Herzog, was Max the monster, I still enjoy this book and loved illustrating it. It is about a little monster that meets an imaginary friend, a little boy, they play together on the beach. Of course, Max's family don't believe him that humans exist, but Max knows better!

Illustrated map of Canada It has taken me ages and I am still not finished! I am really enjoying illustrating this map of Canada, but need a little break from maps! I have illustrated it with the cities and the towns of the different states. Then I have added the animals from the region. I hope to have it finished in the next week, I will post the final image when it is completed. Hope you like it!

Kids Map Of The UK & Ireland

Kids Map of the UK & Ireland (unfinished) I have decided to do a range of wall maps of different countries. I finished my USA map and am now starting the UK & Ireland. I have found that I really like illustrating maps! Also, I am not illustrating them in my usual hand drawn/painted way, I do hand draw all the animals and map outlines but then scann them onto my computer. I then colour them in on the computer and place them on the map, the text is then added, simple as that! Well, not that simple, it really takes my a long time, but I hope you think it is worth it. I am going to get samples printed, when I have approved them they will be printed and ready to buy, I will keep you posted!
