A spoil of cooks


The assignment here was to illustrate a collective noun.  It was great fun to do - and there were lots of other good and witty collective nouns on the list; it might be fun to try illustrating other ones when time permits . . .

Poster to encourage cycling in Dublin

Dublin can be heaven
With coffee at eleven
And a stroll round Stephen's Green
Grafton Street's a wonderland
There's music in the air
You're a king and the lady's a queen -

Perhaps I should have included the lady on her bike . . .

A couple of birds


Here is a picture I did of a pair of bullfinches that came to our birdfeeder.  The male looked like a gangster with dark glasses on. . .

Some illustrations for a children's story

The assigment was to do a series of five illustrations suitable for children or young people.  I did a sequence 
of five pictures to illustrate a story for small children (a moral story about how less is more, or more can be less, anyway)

"Boy in desperate need of teddy
bears.   Do you have any
teddy bears to spare?"
"It's not fair - she has two
bears and I only have one!!

"Wow!"

"I'm not actually sure I
want quite so many"
"This is the only bear I
really want . . ."
