Santa is coming to... your town?

Hey folks, how you all keeping? A series of Christmas books I illustrated for Hometown World are in shops now. Find them at Amazon, Waterstones or your local bookshop.

The core story from Steve Smallman is tweaked for each city on the list to include local buildings and landmarks. Cities in the range are - Glasgow, Sheffield, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Edinburgh, London, Leeds Manchester, Dublin, Birmingham and Bristol.

Fellow Advoate artist Katherine Kirkland came out to help (Big time) with some of the cities after CAIUS - THE UNSLEEPING granted us with his presence.

Hope you all find time to read one.

Scatter-brained.

I was trying to make a cute Frankenstein's monster... and failed miserably. My other idea was to do it as a wedding witth the brains being the confetti. Ah well...

Contraption

At the height of the Cold War, scientists at Miskatonic University developed a means of communicating with animals and insects. The project was quickly shelved and all records destroyed however, as during a conversation with an arachnid, a terrible secret was revealed...


So what did the spider say people....?

Sparkle

Look familiar? I rarely re-work old pictures but there was something about this one. The original went horribly wrong... scanned on the wrong setting, toned wrong... yadi-yadi yah... anyway, a bit of a redraw, re-scan and tone and I kind of like it now.

It was a pitch for a story book in which musical instruments came alive, so muchos fun was had trying to put personality into innanimate objects.

Enjoy.

Unfinished. Obviously based on this picture. Let's just pretend I finished the lower half and then we can all get some sleep... x
