Vintage Trams Jigsaw Puzzle

 Just received this complementary jigsaw from Jumbo Puzzles for the tram illustration that I did for them. I took the approach of showing each tram in a different weather or lighting situation to add to the interest. I put in a Sunderland tram as well as a little homage to my hometown. I'm happy with the result - the image has come out nicely and the quality of the pieces themselves feels really good.

Santa has a bad day

 

As part of an awareness campaign for Heart Research UK I was tasked with creating three good and three bad versions of illustrations featuring Santa. The bad versions had him having a heart attack in various situations to highlight the problems of obesity.

Illustration of Joshua encountering Jesus before the battle of Jericho.

13 Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you for us or for our enemies?”

14 “Neither,” he replied, “but as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” Then Joshua fell facedown to the ground in reverence, and asked him, “What message does my Lord have for his servant?”

15 The commander of the Lord’s army replied, “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.

The Ugly Duckling

She was always different to the other mermaids, probably because her Dad was an octopus.

Portrait of a Japanese Sakhalin Husky

I saw him sitting quite statuesquely on his kennel and though it would make a great image for a portrait. Dogs has strangely human expressions when you look at them for a long time.

Bartok's Insect Emporium

’The sun shone through uneven cloud cover with a bright grey light. Below the basket the stalls and barrows lay like untidy spillage. The city reeked. But today was market day in Aspic Hole, and the pungent slick of dung smell and rot that rolled over New Crobuzon was, in these streets, for these hours, improved with paprika and fresh tomato, hot oil and fish and cinammon, cured meat, banana and onion.

The food stalls stretched the noisy length of Shadrach Street. Books and manuscripts and pictures filled up Selchit Pass, an avenue of desultory banyans and crumbling concrete a little way to the east. The rows of merchandise converged crookedly on Aspic Hole like spokes on a broken wheel.

In the Hole itself all distinctions broke down – members of strange races bought peculiar things, and there the lascivious costermonger, Bartok the Beetle merchant, traded in all things creepy and crawling from his Emporium of Insects.

Aspic Bazaar, a blaring mess of goods, grease and tallymen. Mercantile law ruled: Let the buyer beware.’
An illustration inspired by Perdido Street Station by China Mieville
