Silent Auction
My work is going to be exhibited in the upcoming silent auction taking place at the Abbey Tavern in Kentish Town this week. I've out in 4 original screen prints and one original drawing (sorry about the bad photo quality! I had to photograph them in my dim basement flat once framed!)

Penguin's book cover competition
Grimm's Fairytales
I wanted my cover for Grimm's fairytales to retain some of the traditional style book design I used to love when I was younger. The main image is a mish mash of various elements from Red riding hood, cinderella, snow white and rose red, the 6swans and rapunzel. Clened up and sanitized a bit as it's aimed at children. Grimm's fairytales are brutal!
One Flew over The cuckoo's nest
I wanted my cover for One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest to be as clean and sterile as possible, similar to a mental hospital, so I just used black and white images and type.
