Here is a snapshot of a series of book cover ideas I created working with screen-print.  There are only four in existence. Possibly only three now as after the Bologna Book Fair one had mysteriously vanished.... 

Below are a couple of close up shots.  My personal favourite is 'The Mouse The Bird & The Sausage.'  Sausages just don't appear enough on book covers.

Playing around with the lithography press.  I may have drawn a few too many ribs than is technically correct.

So this week I have been mostly drawing sausages.  Of the dog variety naturally.  














































































I'm pretty sure more sausage dog based prints will follow shortly.  

Top - Three colour screen-print.  Bottom - Four colour screen-print.

So my experimentation with alphabets continues.  Here is what can only only be cheekily described as a two colour screen-print.  


Yet another screen-print for your perusal.

Below is a page from my recently created board book Counting Cars. I'm still waiting on the blurb version to arrive and am hoping it comes in time for me to exhibit it here: http://cambridgemashow.com where there will be lots of other exciting illustrators displaying their wares.

So my love for typography keeps on growing.  Below is a three colour screen print created for my portfolio.  Hopefully next week i'll begin to screen some more alphabets.

'Fun At The Fair'
Three colour screen-print








































This last week has been an epic print marathon, all in a bid to create new images for my portfolio as part of the Children's Book Illustration MA show coming soon.  Above is an example of me trying to show I can draw people.  But not hands or feet.

So now that our work has been handed in I finally have a bit more time for posting.  Here is a page from my other book, 'Mr Wolf's Something Brand New Dinner Party.'  All the characters have been created through screen-printing and placed together digitally.  It also features hand lettering.  I hope the spewing juices don't appear too bloody to the outsider's eye.

As warned, another spread from my book.  
And here's a page from 'Monsieur Oeuf Travels in Style,'  All produced using screen-print.  I have begun experimenting with fabric textures - more to follow....

Here is a sneaky peek at one of the two books I have on the go - this one features a travelling egg

I have been working on a mini series of 'build a bird' books.  Here is one of the endpapers.  All the parts feature within the book and form a collection of odd looking birds.
