New Artwork - The Owl and the Pussycat

I've been working on a new illustration for The Owl and the Pussycat while I wait for other upcoming projects. I've filled the design with painted texture and pattern, and I also wanted to create and incorporate a hand painted paisley (inspired) pattern on the boat rather than just stick to dots and stripes.




I painted this pattern in acrylic and used a pin head to print on each dot. I like to add painted elements and patterns to contrast with the smooth clean lines of digitally created shapes. Other textures have been created on textured art paper with a fairly dry paintbrush, toothbrush and edges of card loaded with paint and 'printed' onto paper.

New titles for a phonics reading scheme

Richard Deverell is currently working to complete the illustrations for a series of six titles for Sounds~Write, a phonics reading scheme that is proving very successful, especially for children who have struggled to learn to read with other methods.
All the illustrations for this new series are drawn to a very tight brief.

Cartoons especially for you

This week a lady in Hong Kong contacted me and asked if I would do a cartoon of her and her partner. They are leaving Hong Kong and throwing a party to say goodbye to their friends. The illustration will be used in an email invitation, on a cake, and a large canvas print that will be on display at the party and no doubt go with them to their new home.

There are more custom cartoons on my website.

Dubai again!

The Pullman Dubai Mall of the Emirates Hotel needed an illustrated map of their location in Dubai with some of the tourist attractions. I am currently working on a bigger and more detailed map for them, to include more of the hotels in the Accor group in Dubai, and a wider geographical area. By the time Christine and I have finished this project we will be able to work as tourists guides in Dubai. That will make a change!
