Hello! Just a heads up that I’ll be closing my shop for two weeks from 15th - 30th August while I’m away, so if you want to order anything, you need to do so by Thursday.
Here’s a link below to visit my shop and take a browse there; and for those who’d like a nosy, like you’re at my stand at an Illustration Fair, I’ve created a whistlestop tour of my wares!

I love to collect and paint Staffordshire and Derbyshire* ceramic figurines, and after a few years of painting them regularly at Art Club and in the studio, I decided it was high time I made something with them. I thought a concertina book felt apt, and would be a good way for them to be displayed in the same way you might display real-life figurines on your mantlepiece! I've collected my paintings into two concertina designs;
The first I have called "Hello?!" inspired by the "cover" image of Venus holding a shell to her ear!
SIDE 1
SIDE 2
Thos second I’ve called "Bosh!" inspired by the bruisers on the front "cover" illustration!
SIDE 1
SIDE 2
Each concertina comes with a belly-band I decorated/titled myself using Posca pens. Because each one is made by hand, each design will vary ever so slightly.
I’ve curated a collection of original artwork pieces that I’m most proud and fond of and have added to my shop. All inspired by my current obsession: Staffordshire Figurines. Drawing and painting from them inspires me so much; I find stories and characters in each piece I paint, and I hope that they inspire the same in you!
I’ve added some brand new print designs to my shop! Again, inspired by my current obsession with Staffordshire Figurines! My prints are all printed on beautiful, softly textured Hahnemuhle Matt Fibre Paper, 200gsm with archival inks. Available A5 - A2.
Shop them all below, and take a look at my growing collection of prints, mostly of my observational sketches, like these.
I still have a few things left from my summer sale - a chance to get some original artwork for a bargain price!
I have over 15 card designs now, some of my most popular prints, some from my favourite Staffordshire paintings, and of course, some festive ones. It’s never too early…!
I have 10 zines now - quite the collection! Not sure what a zine is? It’s basically a small booklet - zine is short for magazine! My zines are collections of sketches that I’ve selected from my sketchbooks, scanned, done a very basic tidy-up (I like to keep most of the marks there, so they feel authentic) and brought together into themed zines. I have two ones of paintings made from my garden, two of the river, two from Tenby, our regular holiday destination, and others from holidays, plus one of people sketches where I collected together a bunch of sketches of people I had made. Here thet all are below, with a video I made with a look-through them all.
