I am currently working or have just completed book covers for Penguin, Scholastic, Abrams, and Puffin. But most of those wont be released for several months. In the meantime, please check the blog for more regular postings.
The last 4 months have been extremely busy working on several book series for Simon & Schuster, Random House, Penguin and Scholastic, as well as completing a series of 40 colour illustrations for a little children's book for Omnibus.
Most of this work is locked up in NDA's, and will be added to the website as soon as they have been released.
In the meantime, please drop by the recently created blog where I will be making more regular postings of work and studies. I have posted cover art to Penguin's 'The Missing Ink', written by Karen E. Olson and due out mid 2009. Also posted is the cover art to 'Haunted' No.1, written by Chris Eboch and published by Simon & Schuster, as well as several interiors and an unpublished image.

Also added are several interior pieces for the Schools Magazine, including illustrations to the Clever Maid, and The Space Traveller Returns. In the unpublished gallery, an unused illustration for a book cover that I found time to edit and finish for myself, a well as a personal picture.
