Thoughts and Musings

To my sheer delight (and relief) lots of ideas have been popping into my head about the characters and the plot of my book. All of which are quickly scribbled into my trusty notebook, but more about that when the ideas are more solid.
Anyway, my drawing! I'm fascinated with old houses, particularly the victorian variety because they're so imposing and mysterious. I think that they act as time capsules containing stories of the past which unfold as you get more acquainted with them. It's probably why they're often described as being 'full of personality'. It's also probably why I love drawing them so much - you can really focus on the detail and then find that when you step back and look at your drawing you see that it's suddenly full of character. It's all in the detail!
More to come..

A New Direction...







'The Farce'

It is no secret to those who know me, that I am an extremely keen reader. 

I have studied Theatre Design over the past three years, finally graduating in July of this year, only for me to come to the realisation that I'm just not cut out for it!

Therefore, I have decided to take a new direction and embark upon a career in illustration. Furthermore, after becoming enthralled by many a book, I've been inspired to write a story of my own - and illustrate it! I've been working on several drawings that illustrate different potential scenarios. All in all a very exciting new project.

More sketches and blog posts coming soon...
