The wild things colouring in piece took me a while – but I finally completed my version…

Patti Smith – Horses revisited
I went to Field Day festival at the weekend, and no question, Patti Smith won the day for being the most pro and warm performer. Although it’s not my usual musical cup of tunes, by the time she launched into Dancing Barefoot, I was […]
Stacey and Darren – wedding portrait
It’s always very special to be asked to contribute to someone’s big day – and so it was the case here, when Janine contacted me to create a special wedding portrait for her little sister, ahead of the day itself. For one thing, secrecy is […]
Spiderman birthday boy
It’s my son’s best mate’s birthday – they are both obsessed with dressing up – and so i created this portrait of him in his favourite superhero costume. Added a little bit of a London skyline to take it closer to home! As ever, […]
Alabama Shakes
Or is that Alabanana Milkshakes? Yes, I do listen to a lot of BBC 6music in my working from home life… One of the bands on constant rotation at the moment is Alabama Shakes – a brilliant combo from, yes, Alabama. Their last […]
Rudy Skywalker
And so the story begins… My boy like many before him has discovered the intense world of Star Wars… Each day starts and ends to his favourite theme tunes, and daddy’s well kept collection of original figurines have found a new lease of life. Rudy […]
Dynamo Royale – album cover design concept
I have some pretty fabulously talented friends… and even better, said friends who sometimes need a hand! And so meet Jon Auer and Tiz Aramini, who together are known as Dynamo Royale. Jon is well known as one half of the Posies, but also […]
Sabine, Franck and Uma the dog
Here I am again, delighted to introduce this new drawing to the family! Sabine is an old friend from Lycée in Toulouse in France – and it was an absolute pleasure to get re-acquainted with her and her extraordinary life (not envious at all, […]
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds paper dolls
I made these paper dolls quite a while ago, but always wanted to work up a suitable background for them. Today I went on the hunt for lyrics from some of my favourite songs by the man – as I’m off this weekend to see […]
People festival poster – Thea Gilmore, Jim Moray and more!
A few weeks ago, I was contacted by People Records, who are putting a fab day festival in Guilford on 18th of July and were in need of a poster for the event. I was asked to create one of my famous trees, but replace […]
The Kittles – Sergeant Mouser’s lonely cat club band
Right, this is the most preposterous one so far. But from the very beginning, I kept on thinking how cool it would be to catify everyone on this particular album cover. I can tell you one thing, there is a lot more than meets the […]
Lauren Laverne and Caitlin Moran in conversation on BBC 6music – illustrated interview
6music is on in my home from the moment I get up – for me it’s just the perfect mix of music – sometimes it’s a bit like my brain on the radio. Their presenters are also REAL music nerds – and this is certainly […]
