It’s always a real treat to loose myself in a larger illustration, and this character owl for my lovely friend @emlusby.bsky.social was an absolute delight to work on. #birdart

Ahh..the Yorkshire coast in autumn.

Last year I was lucky enough to see spectacular numbers of winter thrushes spiraling down out of the clouds @spurnbirdobs.bsky.social. I’m so grateful for these little mental treasures that I keep safe and unwrap when I need them most! #birds

WARNING - severe trip hazard alert!! 🐢.

Theres a reshuffle going down in the studio this morning. The Beaglebum is being decidedly unhelpful. Surely it’s time for her annual review? Her self motivation needs some work that’s for sure, and her health and safety training might need an update!

There aren’t many issues in my overactive noggin that can’t be fixed by a bit of yorkshire coast air and the sound of kittiwakes, and because I couldn’t get there in person today, this seemed like a good backup plan. I wonder if you can buy guano scented feed diffusers to complete the illusion..?

Last commission for a wee while, and this was an absolute gift to work on. Such a beautiful old map found by the clients. Happy faces all round on collection day. Now to put pens down and my hands on ice for a day or two.

A story of brave and adventurous Swallows on migration. Penned with gentle warmth, humour and a clear love and deep understanding of wildlife. It seemed only natural that the map drawing should be of Swallows swooping and diving over one of his favourite places on the North Yorkshire coast.

Peter had an amazing career as a broadcaster on tv and radio and was a very well respected playwright, as well as being a much loved father.

He also wrote and published this beautifuly written little book, β€œCreakwing’s Crossing”.

Sand Martins peppering the precious Northumbrian dunes with their frantic activity last week. On every beach walk, their chattering was a constant pleasure. #birds!

I keep Bluesky for my bird stuff, but if any of you lovely folk live in E. Yorks or Hull…my illustration work has taken an unexpected turn with this 6ft tall rat sculpture for the Mischief Of Rats trail which launched on Saturday. β€œRats Ahoy” Is situated on Nelson street. Check out the website!
