Autumn Leaves

Craft House Concept - a new Edinburgh shop, launched a competition for artists, designers and craftspeople to create individual autumn leaves for their forthcoming Autumn display. I contributed with this leaf, brown and gold.
Find out more about them on www.crafthouseconcept.blogspot.com

Jungle Book

I did these for the Peckham Film Festival, they didn't get used, but it was fun to do. The festival included a showing of Nosferatu on the roof of the Peckham Plex, so the memory of that is making me look forward to the next festival, next year!

Eat Me Magazine - Issue 3

I was so chuffed to do these illustrations for Ernesto Paiva's pull out and keep recipes for Eat Me Magazine. The magazine itself is a lovely thing to behold, beautifully designed and packed full of engaging food interviews, guides and discussions (and with Gizzi Erskine on the cover).
