Winter animals and Imagination Vs Reality #3 (part 1) : a sloth!

It's been a while, but I've been working steadily on my residency for Nuneaton museum, interpreting their Inuit collection. You can read some of my blog posts here. And in studying the collection I've been able to develop a collection of winter animal drawings. Here are some of them:

    

and it's been a while, but it's time to bring out another Imagine Vs Reality (#3). Introducing my version of the sloth and a real sloth to come next week! Stay tuned and let me know which do you prefer.....

The Illustrated Type

I do love a good letter, handwritten, from a typewriter and even from my old mac.

Over the years I've developed a typeface of my own called 'Paperfig Alphabet' which creeps into my illustrations a lot:

You can see a snapshot of my other illustrated typographic work here but keep looking at this section over the coming weeks as I add more samples I have been working on, themed by the impending festive season and by my local borough of Waltham Forest's heritage....thanks!

For this week, something different...

I told you it would not be a post of animal drawings this week! Instead, I'm shamelessly plugging a GOSH charity event I recently made some illustrations for.

 

And here are the details and poster! Please feel free to share!

It's a brilliantly worthy charity, one close to my family's heart, so do buy a ticket and go along if you live near Cambridge. And if you can't make 'Band Night' you can still be incredibly generous and donate some money to the larger event - the London Marathon which my brother is running in aid of GOSHCC. Here is his JustGiving page to donate.

Many thanks and until next week where I will post more news of forthcoming work armed with new illustrations to feast your eyes with! Thanks for looking.
