After several years of talking about it I'd very excited to announce I have finally published my first colouring book. It's called the Lynton & Lynmouth colouring book and features 15 drawings of the twin villages for you to colour. The drawings are all of my favourite views and places.

There is a hard copy of the book, but it is still at the printers, it should be on the site in the next few weeks. You can find all the col ..read more

Good morning I have two of exciting new drawings ready to buy as prints. They are both artist maps one of Lynton and one of Lynmouth. The prints are available in 3 sizes, A3, A2 & A1, all are + prints meaning they have a 1 inch border so are slightly bigger than the normal A sizes. The original drawings were drawn as A2, but if you have the space I would recommend the A1 size. The prints will take about 3 weeks to be delivered as they are printed toorder and sent directly from the printer. The drawings are also available as greetings cards, which you can find HERE along with a new card ve ..read more

Hi All I'm sorry its been so long since my last update, I've had a very busy year drawing. I've just filled the shop with lots of lovely new products for Christmas and beyond. Commisions I've had the pleasure to draw several buildings as commissions this year. They are very detailed and take a lot of time, for example the two above took over 80 hours each. I charge an hourly rate, but charge a cut off rate when it reaches a certain price. At the moment I do have a waiting list, but if you are interested in commissioning me to draw a building you love please contact me for more information. Co ..read more

You may of noticed I've been fairly absent from social networking for a long time, especially when it comes to writing this blog. I have struggled to engage for several years, I don't know what to say to you anymore, everything I'm working on takes a long time that the only things I can show you are old blankets.
