Richard Deverell’s latest epic artwork!

Richard has recently completed this illustration of Dubai. This is a typical example of his busy, detailed work, which usually means an aerial view or at least a high vantage point. Everything is hand drawn from reference supplied by the client or found online. Sadly no field trip could be included in the budget!
The client who lives and works in Bahrain said it was extremely difficult to find a freelance illustrator for this project which took more than 3 months to complete. Richard is very keen to do a poster or book depicting the sights of London for the 2012 Olympic Games.

Rumblewick and the Dinner Dragons, illustrated by Sarah Warburton

"Rumblewick and the Dinner Dragons" written by Hiawyn Oram and beautifully illustrated by Sarah Warburton is now on sale.

"Meet Rumblewick!  He’s a witch’s cat with one BIG problem - his witch, Haggy Aggy, doesn’t want to be a witch any more. She wants to be a regular girl and do regular girl things.

  In this second hilarious picture book, Haggy Aggy does the unthinkable and decides that dragons are an endangered species, and befriends the local dragon. If the Hags on High catch her, Rumblewick will be out of job! How can he persuade her that witchy ways are best?

With lift the flap spells and letters throughout for added magical delights."
