The Meddlesome Moon

.

New works for the Fairytales series:

.

 

 

 

My Sister Marlinchen She Gathered Up My Bones

Text taken from the fairytale 'The Juniper Tree' (via Marina Warner's wonderful book No Go The Bogeyman). Really loving Broadcast and the Focus Group's collaborative album, very much where I'm at right now. Also listening to quite a lot of renaissance/early music at the moment, too. Sort of flipping, repetitively, between the two. Perfect for these stories in picture form.

The Lunatic The Lover And The Poet

Digital drawing/illustration and photoshop text. Words taken from Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream.

The Meddlesome Moon

I love working in two tones only at present. The feeling: more graphic than painterly. Silhouette themed too. Poster style.

I have recently licensed a selection of my works with a wonderful company in Australia, LaLa Land, resulting in a delightful little postcard set:

There are also a couple of limited edition sets still available at the Art&Ghosts shop.

Have a jolly little weekend wherever you may be!

i remember reading the juniper tree as an adult, don t recall it from childhood. pretty grim even for the grimms! beautiful silhouette covers, i thought they were book cover commissions. if they re not, they should be. or a cover for your own!
