New Children's book.


I'm in my final semester at University at the moment, and I'm working on a children's book. These are a couple of initial sketches; its about a little boy called Nigel who has a birthday party... and nobody turns up. Or so he thinks...

Androgeny

These are the pieces I did as part of the Urban Outfitters exhibition. I wanted to explore the theme of Androgyny because I thought it would be interesting - and perhaps challenging - to draw people who cross-dress or have ambiguous gender. I also chose iconic people who have a strong 'look'; Grace Jones, David Bowie (in his young- pre-Ziggy days) and Frida Kahlo. I also included Andy Warhol but I'm currently re-drawing that one. I planning to do some more- I'd really like to draw Grayson Perry, but need some more ideas!
