Some sketchbook work from a project I'm presently on, illustrating the poem Teeney O'Feeney King of the Leprechauns by James Tague. We're touching on all manner of faerie folk in this piece.
The last of the sketch work that went into the Giants book. This was one of the most fun projects I've had the pleasure of working on. For me the best part was the pencil work. That was also my favourite part of the Giants and Faeries books we used as inspiration on this venture - fun !
Here's another one from the project I'm on at the moment - Teeny O'Feeney King of the Leprechauns. Here we have one of the gnomes who keep the ponds and rivers clean - he's not too happy.
I like to do these little ones between projects or while waiting for a.d.'s to get back to me. We have a show coming up in November and the more of these little ones I can do the better.
I'm presently working on a book project called Teeney O'Feeney King of the Leprechauns. Here are 2 takes on the same character - Olaf the Mountain Troll. The first version of Olaf is for the book and the second version I did for myself - just for fun.
I recently had the privilege of working on an excellent book project called The Secret History of Giants. I did a lot of drawing to both prepare for this project and also to contribute spontaneous drawings as illustrations. I accumulated quite a pile of these drawings and can now safely post some of them, being as how the book has been printed and will be out shortly - it's already out in England.
