Welcome to my deviantART page.
I'm delighted that you've found your way here.

Allow me to reintroduce myself, as I've been away from dA for sometime now.

I'm now a published Children's book author and have taken he huge leap to pursue this as a full time profession, at least for the time being.
Illustrations from my books can be found in my gallery.

I have two published books:
Stitches and the Troublesome Stitch - Available to buy on AMAZON - www.amazon.com/Stitches-Troubl…
And
Where is My Kitten - Also availble to buy on AMAZON - www.amazon.com/Where-Is-Kitten…

I'm currently working on my third and most ambitious yet, 'Let's go on An Adventure' it is this one that I'm hoping will be my breakthrough book.
Be sure to watch, as I'll be posting various illustrations as they are completed! 

Again, thank you for stumbling across my page, and thank you for taking the time to read this.
Appreciate it.

Hey ya!
Hope everyone is well.
Apologies I haven't been producing new sketches and art recently. I've been working extremely hard on a new a project, which is finally nearing it's completion.

It's the Stitches & The Troublesome Stitch Children's book!
I've even got a youtube video explaining it, check it out if you fancy: youtu.be/c_5BMF8kotU

For those of you that haven't heard,

It's marvelous tale of the mumbling scarecrow. A tale of self discovery, confidence and self belief.
Stitches, the scarecrow, has a stitch of thread across his mouth which causes him to mumble.
He embarks on a journey, An adventure driven forward by his desire to speak normally without the troublesome mumble.
He meets wonderful characters on his way.. A pesky crow, a cat that dreams of being a lion, and an adventurous little sheep.
In humorous ways each friend attempts to help remove the troublesome stitch across Stitches mouth.

Do any of them succeed? Well, in short, no.

Instead on this journey Stitches learns something, something much more important.
He decides that the stitch perhaps was not so troublesome at all.
The Stitch is what makes Stitches who he is. Delightfully unique and extraordinary.
He rediscovers his self confidence and believes himself once more. Hopefully something a child reading this will be able to relate to.

The best thing about this project is that it's much more than just a book.

My aim is to make this an experience for a young person.
To visit schools and do readings, complete with a magnificent red hat, just like in the story.
Relevant activities will be planned to get children engaged, thinking about communication and the difficulties that may be faced.
And also a physical information pack for parents who may be affected by this issue containing useful information and contacts is looking to be published.

I would love it if you could have a look at our Facebook page.
Help promote our mission to help young people with speech difficulties.

Thank you kindly for reading this.
I appreciate your time greatly.

Hey everyone!
Hope you're all doing well.
Apologies I have not been very productive of late - I just simply have not had the time to draw as much as I would like.
I have recently completed:
Chinese Leopard by FrozenArk

I'm still working on my 'Stitches' project - support from various people close to me has kept me going. For those of you that don't know about my stitches project;
Stitches is essentially about a scarecrow with a stitch across his mouth, this means Stitches mumbles and struggles to speak clearly (a speech impediment if you were) .
This will be a story of self discovery for Stitches and ultimately he will find acceptance and pride in his own identity..

And finally...
Drum roll please...
Another Traditional Feature - It'd be a crime not to shout about these artists and their talent!

Hey guys,
I hope everyone is well.
Thank you if you have just recently started watching me, a appreciate greatly. The comments are fantastic also.

I reached a significant milestone the other day- 10,000 homepage views! A very proud moment for me. I'm honoured and flattered that my work even receives any attention let alone this amount. THANK YOU! and I love you all :D

I am working on about 3 new pieces simultaneously, i've been fairly indecisive of late (not really sure why) and find my self dipping in and out of projects. It's a pain, I'm normally pretty focused on one project at a time, but oh well.
- The first is a sketch for another competition - drawing characters form the Capcom Game Resident Evil.
- The second is continuing with stitches.
- and the 3rd and the most EPIC drawing have ever done is an anime piece but with a crazy amount of traditional pencil work thrown in.

And now, something to make you say wow!!
Some of my favourite traditional works on dA:
