Filberts Bees Ltd.

Kayleigh & her Bedfriends

I was commissioned by a Ed Pyke to illustrate a short child's picture book which he had written based on his girlfriends imaginary friends. It was a really fun little project that I worked on whilst I was on holiday. It was great to have a lot of artistic freedom with it and enjoy what I was doing without having to go back and forwards too much with publishers. Here are a few pages from the book.

Matilda Smith

Mable Smith

Rachel Smith commissioned me to do two paintings for her gorgeous little girls. She got married back in August and her girls had a naming ceremony. The paintings were for the front of the naming books she made for them.

Molly & her magic potatoes

This illustration was not for anyone or anything in particular, which was golden.

Molly Moon-Pea is going to make some magic potato soup that will make her invisible so that she can sneak into Florence Chutney's garden and devour her amazing bed of strawberries without being seen. The snail is suspicious and Chilli, her cat which resides on her large padded bottom is also partial to strawberries but likes them soaking in a bowl of full fat cream sprinkled with cinnamon and brown sugar.

Hansel & Gretel charcter work

This is a color character illustration of Hansel & Gretel (explanation below)

Loving the patchwork bloomers and dress! It reminds me of this amazing patchwork dress the my elder sister had when we were kids... I was and still am very jealous of it.

Hansel & the Witch

This is from Hansel & Gretel (explanation below)

It is from the scene in the book where the witch is trying to feed Hansel to make him fat so she can eat him!

Hansel & Gretel

I have been working recently under the creative direction of Ellie Warton, who is a publishing and editorial agent with The Bright Agency. She suggested to me a while ago that she thought my work would suit the Brother's Grimm Fairy Tales.

So we have decided on Hansel & Gretel, Rumplestiltskin and Rupunzel.
I have done a couple of illustrations of Hansel & Gretal and here they are.
