Fairy tale drawings

One flew over the cuckoo's nest

Here's my submission for the student penguin competition to illustrate a front cover for One flew over the cuckoo's nest. I finished reading it in February its a great book I really recommend it, its sad- yes but its also a spirit lifting book of people power and of the absurdity of rules and regulations to cure mental health - at the time. Talking to Scott about ideas helped because we didn't want to make a bleak cover of insanity and being trapped in a mental hospital. We wanted it to be light-hearted like Mcmurphy is, witty and playful and cheeky playing games with the rules.

Watercolour tropic birds

Our class are going to have commemorative tea towel for when we graduate so we've all been asked to produce a quick self portrait heres mine! I think the majority of people in my class who don't come to college much will see me cycling with loads of stuff in my basket waving at them usually I'm in summer dresses all seasons too.

Coloured it in for fun yeah.

A visit to Sydenham Hill Forest.

It is such a magical feeling, escaping from the busy main roads to this overgrown woodland retreat where wood mice live with ancient trees on the remnants of a steam train track that existed once over a 100 years ago, though I feel you can still sense the train steaming out of the tunnel now.

I entered this for the serco competition for the london transport museum they wanted a illustration depicting 'secret london' either past or present and I thought the forest was a ideal place its a really wonderfully inspiring place to go.
