Recent News
Just a little update on my recent news! I’m partway through a commission for Oxford University Press which has been great fun… and also very exciting for me as they’re a publisher that I’ve always wanted to work for. I’ve created an illustration for them based on one of Aesop’s Fables… the story of the Travellers and The Bear. I’m only showing a little peek at the moment, and a glimpse of the colour-planning that I did to give the illustration a hint of old-fashioned story-book illustrations from the turn of the century. The illustration shows the moment that the bear leans over the traveller who is playing dead, and instead of eating him… it whispers in his ear.
In other news I attended the opening of Stuart Whitton’s amazing exhibition ‘Origin’ at the Exposure Gallery on Little Portland Street in London. Stuart is a fantastic pencil artist, and being a pencil enthusiast myself I was very pleased to get a chance to see his originals at the exhibition. The exhibition continues until the end of October, 10am to 6pm, so if you get a chance do go along and have a look. You can see more of Stuart’s pencil illustrations and portraits at his website here: http://www.stuartwhitton.co.uk/
Your "sneak-peek" looks AMAZING! Can't wait to see the finished product! That pencil show you went to looks really interesting too – pencil artists seem to be so under appreciated, very exciting to see a solo show of pencil work! And, the foxes rock, as usually – good for you keeping up the personal projects while so busy with work (paying) projects! ;)
Awesome news, Katriona – good to know you're managing to keep up the personal work while doing stuff for others. I should learn how to do that, too… Looking forward to your book about foxes, I must say! :)
