NOLA Illustration
Final:
Pencils:
Initial doodle:
I've just returned from a trip to New Orleans where I was photographing locations for Dark Rain and hooking up with the books' author, Mat Johnson. A fine and talented man.
It's of course a varied and complex city, but I think the bright and playful colours of many of it's homes sum it up best for me. This sense of joie de vivre - as well as the true kindness I was shown there - makes knowing what it's residents went through in the aftermath of Katrina all the more appalling and incomprehensible. I highly recommend you visit if you haven't already, it's a special place.
Anyway, I'll have to get some photos up and waffle more, but in the meantime I hope you like this picture, it was fun to draw.

Sketches


I was trying out a Rotring 'art pen' for the first time and whilst the nib itself is passé, I had fun making a mess with it's non-waterproof ink.

Track Attack
Here are the cover pics for 'Track Attack', written by Betty Hicks and illustrated by me. I've already posted numerous preparatory sketches and interior illustrations from it.
Here it is on publisher Roaring Brook Press's website and for pre-order (it's not out until July) on Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk. It's the fifth title in Betty's 'Gym Shorts' series. The first four were illustrated by Adam McCauley and I recommend his website.
