This is more work following the old people story that I have been banging on about. It is set in a sweet shop, this is the skeleton of my first drawing of the exterior view. I have added a bit more detail since this photo which I will get up soon, I am loving working on a larger scale, but I'm getting carpet burns.

'The girl who falls down stairs, calls my name through the air'

This is a sketch from my snowy day off. I had an odd dream the other night...I was in a strange house made up of all the houses which are in my dreams all the time. This one had a fireplace that you could walk into and inside there was a miniature Victorian shop front. Either side of it were real sized twin staircases. They led to floors in the house that I hadn't been to. I wish I was a technical drawer so I could show the sense of space properly. It was like Josies studio, outside, inside, upside down. I felt like a toddler. I hope I have it again. K

I have been playing around with tone today, this is prep for a story that is coming my way soon. I'm not really into old people in drawings, there are just too many lines. So I am trying to use other methods of building them out of washes of paint instead. there will be more to come shortly. K

The beginnings of a children's book, it explores the effects of deforestation through the central character - a robin called bobin. I like the theme but i don't think that this style will hold up, it is going to change.
