I enjoy both writing and illustrating books for children. When creating my stories and characters I look for inspiration from everyday situations and human behaviour to provide both dramatic and humorous themes. I have also taken established stories and characters for adaptation.

I visualise my characters and events as moving images; each illustration being a ‘still’ from my imagined sequential imagery. I feel this method would naturally lend itself to animation storyboarding.

As well as continuing to write and illustrate for children, I would also like to apply my style to magazine features and fiction for adults.

" The day was hot and dry, dust all around, choked the bleating sheep..."

This image is a detail taken from a book I have written and illustrated; 'Chrysafi's Quest'. I took inspiration from the Greek Myth; 'The Golden Fleece'.

" Now Miss Hood, just relax, lets go back to your childhood..."

This Image is taken from another book I have written; "Once Upon a Crime" which takes a humourous look at the lives of traditional fairytale characters and what may have become of them.
