Halloween garage band!

Happy Halloween!

My monster from The Big Draw at the Discover Story Centre

Had a great time at the Big Draw event at the Discover Story Centre yesterday, organised by my agents Arena Illustration & thoroughly enjoyed watching other people draw for a change!
Jonny Duddle, Adam Stower & Thomas Flintham all did a fine job & was great to meet author Timothy Knapman who I'm going to be working with on a new book for Scholastic.
(I drew a monster too)

I didn't win a prize. Upstaged by 7 year olds! ; )

Confronting the imaginary fear beast

(he IS imaginary...isn't he?)

Striped crittur

Striped crittur in slight wardrobe malfunction

Rude monster

"when the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad" - this reposte usually works!

Scary yeti!

Does what it says on the tin...

Don't try this at home kids...

It has been scientifically proven* that Y-fronts are the undergarments of greatest comedy value. Q.E.D.

*look it up, do I have to do ALL the work?

Long yetis & short yetis...

I've been colouring in yetis on holiday, who knows what yetis look like anyway?

Sh*tting beastie!

A little defecation on a Friday!

Mr Procrastination

Caught in the tentacles of procrastination (yes, & I even drew it yesterday, that was proper 5 star procrastination with a side order of 'f***ing about for England'!)

BOOM! BOOM!

Yeti pancake disaster

Happy pancake!

Felt tip monsters

'Will doodle on any spare surface since 1856'™ (or it sometimes feels like 1856!)

Post-it note crittur

He watches me while I work...

Hurricane catcher beastie

Beastie with ACME hurricane net™ - drawn for all my friends in NYC - that'll stop Sandy... probably...

Purple beastie

A beast with a purpose...

Pumpkins, the disappointment...

Pumpkins were always one of my big childhood disappointments. '70s Hastings seemed to be fairly bereft of them, the only ones impinging on my existence being in American picture books. Therefore I had imagined from their beautiful rich orange colour that they'd taste like an incredible magical mélange of peach, tangerine & melon or somesuch. Of course the reality was far duller...

Monster town!

Suited & booted for a good night out!

(to be sung to the tune of Lips Inc.'s 'Funky Town' of course!)

Happy St George's Day!

(I have contributed to suitable dragon-cruelty charities & will politely draw a veil over the fact that Saint George never actually set foot in England...shhhhhhh!)

hungry...

this was my lunchtime...how about yours?
