Stories of the River Severn. I’ve been researching the river and surrounding area and have discovered numerous interesting stories (both fact and fiction), so decided to combine some of them into one image in response to this year’s Cheltenham Illustration Awards. The theme was ‘I am Many Stories’ and the river certainly fits this title-from the story of Hafren (Sabrina), historic battles, tragic accidents and the lives of those who lived (and still live) on or near this waterway. As I have always lived close to this river it has special meaning to me and so I can see there being quite a few river-based images being made over the next few months! #illustration #riversevern #illustratingtheSevern #illustratingtheriversevern #illustrator #illustrationresearch #illustratedfiction #illustratednonfiction #folktales #illustratedfolktales #boats #boatdrawings #river #riverfloods #severnbridge #sabrina #hafren #riverstories #illustratinghistory #cheltenhamillustrationawards #drawing #digitaldrawing #digitalart #digitalillustration #artist #art #walesenglandborder (at Chepstow, Wales) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB5gLMAhY8B/?igshid=1430oiak1hzg0

I do the illustration awards every year so it's a good marker for progress. Here are my past five entries and you can definitely see the quality improve! Interesting that 3 of the 5 are comics, the first I'd deemed a 'narrative illustration' before I'd thought about making comics! I really like the 🎈2016 one for its concept though the execution is ugly. Might give it another go 😊 #cheltenhamillustrationawards #timewarp #progress #2019-2015 #keepdrawing #lookback #improvements #change #comic #illustration #narrative #dontmindmejustreminiscing https://www.instagram.com/p/B4695yEB9lH/?igshid=b4xv7lv1kezc

My submission to the Cheltenham Illustration Awards ‘Tales of the city’ 

The image is based on a moment i witnessed in New York where a young boy stood in absolute awe of of a saxophonist playing the blues in the city center ,whilst the rest of the world was unaware. The interaction was so moving and stayed with me. It was a reminder that in the heart of the busy city are beautiful moments like this.

Inks for my most recent comic piece! This was for my submission to this year's #cheltenhamillustrationawards theme of tales of unity. My idea was to show players immersed in a fictional battle royale game 'Unity' and how this takes them out of their real lives. Was really happy with the top and middle panels especially! #illustration #comicinks #process #singlepagecomic #narrative #comicartist #traditionalart https://www.instagram.com/p/B2jGqPNhhJL/?igshid=6efvzop2nvrr

My entry for the Cheltenham Illustration Awards 2017 #CIA17 

Marco Polo describing the city of Esmeralda to the Great Kublai Khan.

“In Esmeralda, city of water, a network of canals and a network of streets span and intersect each other. To go from one place to another you have always the choice between land and boat: and since the shortest distance between two points in Esmeralda is not a straight line but a zigzag that ramifies in tortuous optional routes, the ways that open to each passerby are never two, but many, and they increase further for those who alternate a stretch by boat with one on dry land.

And so Esmeralda's inhabitants are spared the boredom of following the same streets every day. And that is not all: the network of routes is not arranged on one level, but follows instead an up-and-down course of steps, landings, cambered bridges, hanging streets. Combining segments of the various routes, elevated or on ground level, each inhabitant can enjoy every day the pleasure of a new itinerary to reach the same places. The most fixed and calm lives in Esmeralda are spent without any repetition. 

Secret and adventurous lives, here as elsewhere, are subject to greater restrictions. Esmeralda's cats, thieves, illicit lovers move along higher, discontinuous ways, dropping from a rooftop to a balcony, following gurrerings with acrobats' steps. Below, the rats run in the darkness of the sewers, one behind the other's tail, along with conspirators and smugglers: they peep out of manholes and drainpipes, they slip through double bottoms and ditches, from one hiding place to another they drag crusts of cheese, contraband goods, kegs of gunpowder, crossing the city's compactness pierced by the spokes of underground passages. 

A map of Esmeralda should include, marked in different coloured inks, all these routes, solid and liquid, evident and hidden. It is more difficult to fix on the map the routes of the swallows, who cut the air over the roofs, dropping long invisible parabolas with their still wings, darting to gulp a mosquito, spiraling upward, grazing a pinnacle, dominating from every point of their airy paths all the points of the city.”
