Spring Equinox
Aurial poked her tiny head out of the hive and was greeted by warm golden rays of sunlight.
“The equinox is here; nectaring day,” she said excitedly.
Character Colouring Pages [Download Pack]
This pack includes 6 x hi-res line artworks featuring original characters from my Specimens Project.
1UP #ArtDrop
Who’s in need of a pick-me-up? I’ve tokenised a batch of digital heart doodles inspired by the iconic 1UP Heart – and I’m giving them away for free!
Stina Jones x Pica Collab
One of my favourite things to come out of this year’s #Inktober was this fun animation loop, created by the talented Dan Silverstone using one of my digital doodles. I always enjoy collaborating with animators and seeing how they bring these things to life!
Digital Doodles for #Inktober 2019
Autumn is here, which means I’ve been having another crack at Inktober; the annual art challenge inviting artists to draw one thing every day during October. The project is traditionally about creating ink drawings – and last year I was all about working with pens to improve my lines – but this year I wanted to switch things up and improve my digital inking and colour work.
Weird Fishes Series
I’ve been creating these Weird Fishes as part of an ongoing series of experimental digital doodles, which use clean lines and geometric shapes layered over pops of chalky colour, to form abstract characters.
Robot Character Upgrade 4.0
Updating my mascot character has always been an iterative process. I keep going back and tweaking things, then every few years I’ll do a complete redesign – and it’s about that time again!
Daily Doodles for #Inktober 2018
I’ve been itching to play with ink pens again and #Inktober has offered me the perfect excuse! This global illustration challenge invites illustrators and doodlers to set themselves the task of creating a new ink illustration every day throughout October.
Specimen Characters Vol 3
I finished up another set of designs for my ongoing Specimen Series, adding to my army of colourful quirky characters! I’m taking my time with the series, working on them during my breaks, playing around and experimenting as I go.
David Meowie Charity T-Shirt
I’ve been working with We Heart Arts on a new music themed T-Shirt and Sticker design, to raise funds for their non-profit which helps young people’s creative arts programs across the world.
Robot Character Upgrade 3.0
After years of loyal service, it was time to retire my old mascot character and replace her with a new and improved design. Whilst I liked her overall look, in practice I found the proportions and details too rigid to work with in a dynamic way.
Top 5 Pens for Illustrating
I’m a big believer in the best pens being whatever you have to hand, as when you have an idea any pen will do! I’ve seen some amazing pieces created with some of the cheapest biros, so not having “the right pens” shouldn’t be an excuse (unless you’re attempting to paint a mural with nothing but an old potato).
