pig farmer
A small, cute piglett is held by a farmer. In the farmyard can be seen two cows in a barn. Digitally painted in 2009.  

Southampton cow flight
This illustration features a cow sitting atop a tall clock tower, with some home made wings attached. The farmer, its owner, is persuading it to become the first fly cow.
The clock tower is a real one attached to the Civic Centre building in Southampton, UK. An oil painting of mine of the tower itself can be seen here. For this illustration I took a number of pictures from ground level of the tower, and redrew it for the angle required here.
The image is painted in photoshop to a size of 8" x 10". Painted in 2010.

Nasty big bad wolf pictures

nasty wolf and little red riding hood
Nasty fox looking for next meal
Both painted in photoshop. The little red riding hood one was done in feb 2009. I particularly enjoyed doing the expression on the girl.
The fat wolf in the field was done in july 2010. I like the contrast between the cute,innocent sheep looking on, and the wolf's sharp teeth.

Nasty fox looking for next meal
Nasty bad wolfs are such interesting characters. It is difficult to say if the wolf is eyeing up the sheep on the hill or has already had some of the family members from the flock. The wolf was fun to do and is cartoony, whereas the sheep are painted in quite a realistic way. The wolf naturally fits in to the dark shadow cast by the tree, the eyes kept a touch lighter to add some menace in the character.
Painted in photoshop to a size of 8" x 10".

nasty wolf and little red riding hood
This illustration is based on the 'Red Riding Hood' childrens tale. The Nasty, big bad wolf is attempting to get his hands on the basket of food that was intended for the red riding hood's granny, and then later eat the girl. The girl can see through his plan and is having nothing of it. The composition is showing that the cottage is quite small and confined, with a tense situation happening inside of it. Another big bad wolf can be seen here.
This was painted in photoshop during 2009.
