Book Dummy – Newsflash!

Well, it would have been a newsflash if I’d updated sooner…As it stand’s, it’s just news. But great, fantastic, brilliantly-brilliant news.

My little tiny book dummy is going to be a real book. I signed a contract with Caterpillar Books a couple of weeks ago and will be starting work in January 2012.

Watch this space and don’t forget to look out for Caterpillar Books on Twitter and Facebook

Lauren, Bright and Caterpillar Books – Thank you all for being so amazing x

An illustration I did a few months ago – say hello to Cinder’s – I will be updating with new work soon – I’ve been extremely busy with 24 spreads on a deadline scarier than a scary thing.

Its been a busy month, so while I’m working away, please enjoy these bunnies I prepared earlier…August to be precise. Charcoal is fabulous for loose sketches and is my (not so new) best friend. I’ll be back to update with copious amounts of new work very soon x

Something new for your eyes!

Tried doing a few things differently here and I’m rather quite pleased with the way it’s turned out, especially the colours…But her arms could do with being just a teeny bit longer.

I’ve been drawing lots of tigers this week so, just for a change, I made a tiny dancer too

And another…Yes, it is Spring themed but since when did I follow the rules…I’m such a rebel. Not really, I’ll be back with some pumpkins at some point (probably when its Winter)…

Experimenting with some stronger colours here. I spent AGES fiddling with this – the colour scheme especially but also to-ing and fro-ing with the amount of detail. Hmm.

A Tiny Tantrum

Character development – I think I’ll call her Amelia…

Tiger Trouble

A double page spread based on an idea I have for a new story…I see a bit of a ‘personality trait’ theme developing.
