Seamonster

Given the current 'heatwave' and abnormally sunny weather we have been having it seems appropriate to post this ink drawing I completed recently of a Seamonster visiting a small fishing port. Black Ink on paper.

Another illustration, this time a slight change of course, the world of food and drink. A classic French dish, Coq au Vin. Enjoy.

A couple of Coq au Vin recipes, I have not personally tested these but they seem well advertised-
Coq au Vin- Nigel Slater
Coq au Vin - Gordon Ramsay

Family Portrait



Another update from me now I find a spare couple of minutes. I have a family portrait based on some characters I developed in previous work. The mother seated, the uneasy father stood behind and the twins placed in the centre. The family pet parrot with little beady eyes perches on the chair back. For experimentation and for some obscure desire for continuity I produced this in black and white line art, full colour and a sepia tone. All three are on my website in the portfolio section.

More updates very soon...
