ATLAS OF MINIATURE ADVENTURES

Introducing the latest book in the 'Atlas' series: 

Atlas of Miniature Adventures!

This book takes a look at some of the smallest adventures from around the world - including the miniature Dutch town Madurodam, the world's smallest post office, and Cuba's tiny bee hummingbird. There are also continent and world maps full of many more small facts to explore! As always, this was a really fun little book to work on with the Wide Eyed Editions team. I especially love seeing my work shrunk down to such a small scale! Some photos of the inside can be seen below…

 'Atlas of Miniature Adeventures' is out now in UK bookshops, and available to buy online here.

ATLAS OF ANIMAL ADVENTURES: OUT NOW!

Hello all! Very happy to announce that my new children's book 'Atlas of Animal Adventures' was published last week. 

The book is an illustrated collection of nature's most unmissable events, epic migrations and extraordinary animal behaviours from around the world. Each scene focuses on a different animal, and is full of fun facts to learn and interesting things to spot. There are also 7 continent maps throughout the book, packed with loads more things for readers to discover! Some photos of the book can be seen below...

 This was another great project to work on with the team at Wide Eyed Editions. 'Atlas of Animal Adventures' is out now in bookshops around the UK, and available to buy online here.

POSTCARD CLUB IV

It's been a while since I took part in Postcard Club, but here's a swap I did recently with artist Avia Cohen from Israel. I sent Avia this paper collage of a mystic lady, and Avia sent me a fabulous swan illustration in return.

Visit postcard-club.tumblr.com to see loads more great postcard swaps from illustrators all round the world!
