all the spreads of How people lived

Here are all the spreads, (very small files so a bit rough!) I'm working on trying to get hi-res files, but these will have to do till then.... :-D

latest project: How People Lived

Just completed a book for Dorling Kindersley called "How People lived" a book on the history of civilization that will be out in the shops in September. I had to do 16 spreads scanning the ages from cavemen to the present day, a lengthy project took me a solid 7 months to complete. Here are a few of the illustrations i produced for it, thses are at just before completion stage, all the completed spreads will be up soon!

Illustrated elephant

Silly little painting for another blog called illustrated elephant

some old animal paintings

Some acrylic and oil paintings on canvas i did at the end of last year

Dorling Kindersley, Fairy Tales

More work for DK, this time based on Fairy Tales, yet again rough presentation stuff, but at least here you can see them with the text etc as they would be layed out. Missing a third spread of a mermaid but thats because i forgot to save it, oops! Again waiting to hear whether i've got the whole book to illustrate, want to know now!

Dorling Kindersley, Weird creatures

Here are two illustrations i did Recently for a book presentation for DK based on weird creatures around the world. They are for double page spreads and will have texst around them when done, Still only at very rough stage, waiting to hear back whether i'll be illustrating a whole book for them! One of them is an Aye Aye, endangered nocturnal animal, (this ones a baby) the other is a giant squid.
