Kes Book Cover Test



Kes was one of my favourite books as a kid. The movie was excellent also. Billy Casper is a school kid who lives in the North of England in a mining town whose only companion is a kestrel hawk. I should perhaps add a hint of coal mining structures in the background, or give a slight feel of an industrial northern town.

Christmas Holidays in the Baltic Region. St Petersburg.

This is a favourite illustration of mine that was used for the Beaulieu National Motor Museum in England. It's a fantastic museum with the largest collection of beautiful vintage cars I have ever seen. Also there are lots of rides and information for both kids and adults.

Keep Your Town Pretty


Many small towns and villages are losing their charm and uniqueness, if not disappearing with larger ubiquitous stores sucking the life force out of the community feel. It may be inevitable but a shame, and wished it could be slowed down.

Here is a cover illustration for Nexos Magazine. It is the Spanish inflight magazine for American Airlines. The background was a lovely coincidence as it subtly reflected the Colombian flag colours.
