Wuthering Heights book cover, second colour choice
Blanaid said the last colour choice looked too 'zombie' or 'underwater' so I tried this.
Wuthering Heights book cover
Ta dah!
Here's my first mock up book cover! I'm quite pleased with it. These colours look loads more 'Wuthering Heights' to me ...

And then I plugged in Blanaid's new Wacom tablet and started drawing on my sketch in colour.

So, I've been experimenting with book covers. I had a go for Wuthering Heights. This was supposed to be Cathy at the window.

Solly book
Thinking about the Solly book today. Might be time to revisit it this autumn. I did these sketches of horses for it.

Nursery rhyme illustration
I decided to illustrate a nursery rhyme and picked this horrible little one ... why? The idea of the rotting plums, I could relate to that. I like the old lady's entrepreneurship.
There was an old woman
Who lived in Dundee,
And in her back garden
There grew a plum tree;
The plums they grew rotten
Before they grew ripe,
And she sold them for
three farthings a pint
I changed the text as it didn't scan before - my version's much neater and I like it better so there, Lady Eveline Gurdon who collected this for County Folk-Lore Suffolk, in 1893.

Frog Morris's night moves to Saturday
A great evening from Frog at the Montague in New Cross - and Gwyneth Herbert is performing. I've never seen her live, looking forward to it.

Desperado Housewives - Stoke Newington
Helen McCookerybook has done a tremendous illustration for the Desperado Housewives party in Stoke Newington. It's so beautiful. I love the mop, I love the horse I love the whole thing ... beautiful crayoning, lines ... the mixture of domestic housewife and Western imagery ...
We're playing Sat 16 Oct at the Palatine on Stoke Newington Road
