Old Harry's Game

I love Radio 4. It's the illustrator's friend and I listen to it lots. Except You and Yours. Oh and Any Answers? where the Daily Mail has the cheek to telephone Radio 4. One of the highlights of Radio 4 is the comedy and Andy Hamilton's Old Harry's Game for some reason provokes strong images. Probably all the torture, hellfire and damnation.....

Murder in the woods

This is a cover for a book about a popular but notorious childhood game. The object of the game was to trespass on the land belonging to and avoid the clutches of, a pair of wob-eyed inbred siblings that lived on the edge of the wood. The game gained notoriety after a number of children disappeared....

The Mezzotint

I read a weird story the other night in bed called The Mezzotint. It is from a collection of ghost stories by M.R James. The next morning I woke up and this picture was beside me.....

The Thunderstorm

This is a vingette from a book that I haven't written yet. Thought I would share it nonetheless.

Happy New Year?

This idea has been gnawing at the back of my head for sometime and I have just got round to doing it. 

I have been reading some stuff lately that has confirmed what I knew already about the Nasty Party and thought it time I got this out. Happy New Year indeed.

Commisioned work

Here is a piece I called disatopic. A cross between disaster and dystopic. 

Not for any particular reason other than it kind of goes with the pictures.
