Trumpet Blowing

When not working all hours that there are in a day on illustration work I paint.  Recently I have been very happy to have the above two paintings accepted for Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours Exhibition which is at the Mall Galleries 21st April to 1st May and

this one accepted by the Royal Watercolour Society for their open exhibition which is at the Bankside Gallery, London from 19th February - 11th March.

Luncheon of the Boating Party

I did this a few years ago because I like Renoir's painting so much. What I like best about it is that nobody is paying any attention to the person speaking to them (a bit like this blog-Ed) and I think all of them would rather be with someone else in the picture. Since I originally did it I've juiced up the colour a little on my computer and it now looks much better than it did, so thanks computer for covering up my deficiencies.

New Gargoylz Website and Blog

To coincide with the release of Gargoylz there is a new blog written by Max and Ben who are the only children who know Gargoylz come to life. Their new blog can be found here and is updated every Friday detailing what tricks they've been up to over the week. They're very naughty boys.

There is also an official Gargoylz website which can be found here.
