A black pen in crosshatch technique and black ink applied with a small roller on white paper illustration of a scene of Venice. A black Cat sits in a Gondola, Crows sit atop long poles that rise from the water. Water laps at the Gondola and a little wooden jetty, across the water hazy buildings, their lights just visible through a fog. Crows circle above. A dark figure of a man stands on the jetty by the Gondola on the left of the illustration. Mysterious.

Decided to part with this one. An illustration I made when my mum was ill & one of the last she saw me make. A piece probably about grief, illness, sadness & departure so of course I called it ‘Don’t Look Meow’ 🤷🏼‍♂️

Thank you, Jane 🤞🏼

This illustration makes me realise that I’ve been away from work for such a long time. Bits & bobs here & there but a combination of lots of things have kept me away from working solidly.
Hopefully that’ll change this year, I certainly have plans and projects lined up.

Thank you 👊🏻

Thank you 🙏🏻

Thank you, Anna.

Thank you. It wasn’t intentional, I must’ve been going through a Daphne du Maurier period. Certainly a lot of sadness at that time.

Packing and posting today. Thank you lovely people 👍🏻😉

Also working hard to battle AI, thieves stealing my partners work, report to disinterested companies selling that stolen work 🫩

A Labrador wearing a black harness. She is running around a wheat field like a very naughty girl, this is Sally or as I call her ‘Silly Sally’. There’s a touch of Theresa May about her (apart from the fact that she’s not a vindictive old crow).

Working hard to put my original artwork for The Woman in Black on here at reasonable prices, reply to emails, get new work done, exercise, keep sane, earn money, keep in touch with family & friends.

Looking forward to seeing my Stepdad & Silly Sally here when I visit them on the coast soon.

A black and white illustration of a woman in black standing amongst the ruins of an abbey and headstones in an abandoned graveyard. In the distance looms a large Victorian house shrouded in fog, a lone figure of a man stares back at the woman.

Original artwork still available to purchase directly from me. Very affordable if I say so myself.

Good morning and cheers, The Beautiful Sausage!

It’s hard to explain the excitement and trepidation of that moment when people get to read the book you just spent years putting together…

Cheers, Kristian 👊🏻

This whole process is one of making room for a new start. They sit in my plan chests, they could and should be on peoples walls…and I can earn some money hopefully.

Cheers, Kristian. I’m working my way through the sketch’s, roughs and mood pieces and then I’ve got the published originals from the book to make available.

black pen in a crosshatch technique and black block printing ink applied with a roller on white paper illustration. The dark silhouetted shape of a woman in a black funeral dress stands at the foot of a bed in an Edwardian style room, she stares at a tired looking man under a heavy quilt. Moonlight shines into the room from behind the woman. Creepy and atmospheric. RESERVED written across the illustration in bright red.
