Merry Christmas!

My official Christmas Card for 2015

Seems Volkswagen weren't the only ones......

Barnabas the Barmy

Another great moment from the Harry Potter books that unfortunatly never made it to the big screen:
"They hurried along the corridor to the place Dobby had described to Harry, a stretch of blank wall opposite an enormous tapestry depicting Barnabas the Barmy's foolish attempt to train trolls for the ballet."

Harry Potter - missing moments

I've decided to re-start an old illustration project. I'm reading through all the Harry Potter books to find some golden moments or characters that were left out of the films and giving them the attention they deserve! Here's a rough sketch of what will become the tapestry where Barnabas the Barmy is trying to teach a group of trolls to do ballet:

The Good Witch

A new illustration project is under way! Still in its very early stages, but here is some work in progress:

And that's why you shouldn't ride a giant elk.

Calendar 2016 sneak peek

Just fooling around with some texture brushes - I've been trying to avoid the digital "look" as much as possible when doing illustration work and this watercolour technique is really growing on me!

A little birds project I've been working on. Here's a Satyr Tragopan:

The little monsters that secretely live in your room and eat all your matching socks, steal your hair bands and poop out dust bunnies!

Nosferatu

An illustration/digital painting very different from my usual style - but also very refreshing to try something new.

Archie

"'I bought this in a Muggle shop,' said the old wizard stubbornly. 'Muggles wear them.'
'Muggle WOMEN wear them, Archie, not men, they wear these,' said the Ministry wizard, as he brandished the pinstriped trousers.
'I'm not putting them on,' said old Archie in indignation. 'I like a healthy breeze round my privates, thanks.'"
