Parenting a Violent Child - Sculptural Owls

Original concept for illustrations for the book Parenting a Violent Child 

The Gentleman Octopus - Livestock Wholesale

The Gentleman Octopus sells Sprite Eggs, Selkies, Miniature Whales and Water Sprites. Though I'm sure he has other beasts lurking about...

A Fairy Hunting Fox

Here is an image of the fox's stall at the Fairy Catchers Convention.

The Fairy Catchers Convention

For this image I was experimenting with the number of characters I could fit into an image. I have taken over 2000 photos of this scene trying to get it right, so I hope you like the result!

On Location - Sculptural Illustration at the Blue Lagoon

On a day trip to the Blue Lagoon, Abereiddy, Wales.

On Location - Sculptural Illustration in Mwnt

Holidaying in Mwnt, Wales. I took a few of my models with me, and here is a few of their adventures!

The Gentleman Octopus

A preview of a new character within the large illustration I am currently working on.

Water Spirit / Mermaid

This wonderful creature is the only model I've made so far that exists in water. She gets creeper the longer she is in there. Looking rather like something belonging in the Pickled Library at the Natural History Museum.

Newest Model

Here is the first image of my newest model, she is based off of a model I made for my dissertation to be used in a larger illustration.

An unusual walk

Went on a walk and took a selection of models with me to experiment with them in an outdoor setting including my latest maquette. These are some of the resulting images.

Snapshot

I realize I haven't updated recently so here is a snapshot of my workbench at the moment. I am working on an illustration of which I am pushing the number of models that can be present in the image without the illustration becoming too crowded or just a photograph of 'dolls'. These are the characters for it that I have finished at the moment, still a lot of work to do yet!

Sculptural Illustration

I made a radical decision over the summer to move into Sculptural Illustration and here are the first of many resulting images.
