Hello and Happy new year!
So it's the start of another year.  I have to say the last one was an amazing for me, with lots of good things happening.  So here's my first new pieces of work for the year.  These are part of a little personal project I'm working on called 'My sandwich today'.  It's just a little project I've set up for myself as I love drawing food and I do like sandwiches.  They are all going to be sandwiches that I eat so all non meat and plenty of carrot, yep that goes in a lot of them!  Some people think my ingredients are a little odd but I don't think so and they make yummy sandwiches in my opinion.  So here are the first two.  Hope you are having a great start to the year!

Hello,

So it's almost Christmas which has come about really fast all of a sudden.  Here is a little Christmas offering, a Christmas Robin.  A little something I came up with for the time of year.
Have a great Christmas!

Hello,

So below is my latest illustration all about the food and sights of Sicily (well some of them anyway).  I have actually been there several years ago and very lovely it was too.  The food was delicious.  I was lucky enough to travel around most of the island which was amazing and very beautiful.  I've been wanting to draw some sort of food/culture map for a while so this seemed a good one for me to do.  I also really wanted to stick with a particular range of colours.  Once again I indulged in pattern and texture making which I always enjoy.  Hope you like it and have a great weekend!

Hello!

So another weekend is drawing to a close, far too quickly as usual!  It's been a busy one.  In the midst of it all I've finished another food illustration.  This one is based on what sounds like a really yummy recipe although I must say I haven't tried it....yet.  I loved working with the yellows of the lemons and contrasting them with the blacks and greys.  I've rarely used black in my work so this made a nice change for me.  I'm really enjoying drawing food and trying to make it look appealing!  Well I do like to eat good food :).
Have a good week!

Hello,

So here's what I've been working on just lately.  Firstly something pretty summery, strawberries growing and picked with cream.  Yes, still clinging on to summer!  I'm having a bit of a red and green obsession at the moment, I love the richness of the colours.  Apparently strawberries can be grown in a very small space, not that I've tried, I don't think I'm green fingered enough!
The second illustration is another of the fantasy landscapes that I like creating.  This time living in an apple land.
Have a good week :)

Hello,

So it's been a hot week here in London, and I've been drawing more summery food.  The colours remind me of summer and sunshine.  Hot pinks and yellows.  Let's hope for a sunny week!

Hello,

So another week has gone by in a bit of a whirl.  It's been pretty warm here in London (some of the time!) so summer is here.  Fittingly here's my latest piece of work a summery salad with Halloumi, one of the great yummy cheeses in my opinion.  Creating this meant using a more subdued palette than I'm used to which was a challenge for me and made a nice change.  I really wanted to keep it fresh and summery and as usual I had a lot of fun creating the patterns.
Have a nice week!
