Website Updated with 'Magpie's Treasure'

I've just updated my website with some of the artwork from 'Magpie's Treasure' (my-first-children's-book-published-by-Andersen-Press-in-June-don't-you-know), so you can now have a sneak preview here! I've also added some of the stills from 'Free Love', peruse at your leisure.

Feet to the Sky / Rose Tint

I now have my very own copy of Feet to the Sky from the wonderfully talented Lulu and the Lampshades. It's most exciting to see it in the flesh, so to speak, and it smells like the Nancy Drew books I read when I was 10, which as I don't have a record player is an added sensory bonus. Anyway, you can buy your very own limited edition copy here!

Magpie's Treasure Proof!

Here's a photo of the proof copy of Magpie's Treasure (now available somewhat prematurely to pre-order online)! I'll put some spreads up on my website soon, but for now here is our hero Magnus hurtling through space on his way home, WHOOOSH!

Images 34

Hello one and all! I'm having a very nice day, I hope you are too. Thus far I have been to Andersen Press to look at 'Magpie's Treasure' proofs and discuss my new idea, my lovely boyfriend has bought me a delicious chicken and avocado sandwich AND I have received a letter from the AOI congratulating me on being selected for the prestigious Images 34 annual! Marvellous. This is the illustration I entered into the advertising section.

More Free Love

I've got lots of lovely stills with my silver city in! You can of course view Chris Hemming's extraordinary work in it's entirety here. (Click the stills to make them larger - there are rabbits in the church!)

Cornershop - Free Love

Roll up, roll up! Here's the video for Cornershop's latest single, Free Love. In the summer I created a moving, foil, cut-out city for Chris Hemming at Passion Pictures to use in the video and it's great to see it featured so much throughout! I love working with Passion because it's a bit different to my usual fare and also a challenge (a foil city made from eight independently moving, tiered rings for stop-motion)! I should hopefully have some proper stills to put up on my website soon, but you can take a look at the video here!

You can now buy my zine, The Observer's Guide to Hats of the Wilderness, from my shop. I made a limited edition of 25 for the Story Motel exhibition at Owl and Lion gallery in Edinburgh over the summer and have a few copies left. So, if you'd like a nice collage of a walrus in a boater, a kitten dressed up as a captain or some rather distinguished looking salmon (among other tip-top animals) then 'The Observer's Guide to Hats of the Wilderness' is for you!
