Comic Strip Experiment

I've been experimenting with a comic strip book for children recently & it's given me even more respect for the writers & illustrators of this format. There's so much that you have to be aware of - page layout alone is a bit of a headache. And then there's the actual pictures, writing, etc.

The strip is based on a story that I've been working on for the last few years & this is a trial picture to see if it works or not. I can't help wondering if I laid on the murky atmosphere a bit too much & perhaps a bit more colour would help. But, on the other hand, it does let me play around with lighting and shadows.

Card Shop

Fairy Tale Mouse Greetings Card

I've been busy building a card and poster shop for my website in the last few days. Still working on it, but it's getting there. If anyone has suggestions for card and poster designs, please let me know.
You can click on the picture to see the card and poster shop - but, I'm afraid nothing is for sale at the moment.

Mouse in a Paper Boat

Mouse in a Paper Boat in a Storm at Sea

This is an early digital drawing of a mouse in a paper boat on a stormy sea.
I wonder if I can get a story out of it?

Frankenstein's Mouse

Frankenstein's Mouse Picture


Working on the Mice Gallery now; this picture is called Frankenstein's Mouse. I had forgotten drawing half of them, but the minute I see each picture I can remember what I was doing that day.

Mouse in the City

Mouse Looking Down on a City from a Skyscraper
Here's an atmospheric picture I drew a few years ago.
It's of a mouse looking down on a city from a skyscraper.
It became my kids' eBook Shadow City Mystery.
