ECA Degree Show 2010

I've not posted anything in a long time because I've been a bit busy, first with my deadlines, then the Degree show and then D&AD/ New Blood down in London. Now I'm back in Edinburgh I can finally post these photos of the show; thank you very much to all the people who managed to come see it, it was wonderful to receive that amount of support. :)

Fish

I finish this picturebook some time ago but I only recently had it photographed by the college photographer, I'm really happy with the way the photo came out because he's managed to capture all the embossing detail on the front as well as some of the insides.

Arnie is "Highly Commended" by Macmillan Publishers

I thought I'd let Arnie waddle back into the spotlight on my blog for a bit, having received the very very happy news that in the Macmillan Prize this year my book 'Arnie's Problem' was awarded a 'Highly Commended". So happy!

Introducing Ruby

This is an example of some of the research I do before embarking on a book project. This is Ruby. I've just started the book and I only have 3 weeks before my degree show. The countdown begins...

Arnie's Problem

Here are a few excerpts from my offering for the Macmillan Prize, a children's book competition. What was supposed to be a relatively quick project turned into a mammoth 7 week struggle, but I'm pretty happy with the outcome.
