Mum
This was an illustration project to design a tattoo and mother´s day card around the word ‘Mum’
The feather represents the crane which was sacred to the mother goddess Demeter in Roman mythology; symbolising long life, health, happiness, wisdom and good luck.
Also available as postcard without the Mum

Cockerel
This piece evolved from a little pencil sketch I made of a neighbour’s cockerel during an exercise for a distance learning illustration course.
I scaled up the sketch and used it to cut a stencil through which I applied acrylic paint to reclaimed wood. It still serves as a house sign for the home of the cockerel and his human companions.
This image is now available on postcards and as digital prints (A3 and A4) and I can stencil him onto almost any surface.
Yet more Discord Nancy
Having made a stencil type image of the Discord Nancy portrait I tried it out with some spray paint:

Discord Nancy Charcoal
I gradually darkened this drawing with layers of charcoal, accentuating the planes and regions of the face. I developed it to make a stencil type portrait which I manipulated digitally and used as a template for a screen print (see below).

Discord Nancy 1 & 2This portrait was drawn in charcoal from a photograph and then manipulated digitally, using scanned fabric from the 1970’s as a collage for her hair, which is so ‘busy’ that I decided to keep the rest of the colours quite simple. Fingers crossed there’ll be more of these…
