'Curiouser and curiouser!' Cried Alice (she was so much surprised, that for the moment she quite forgot how to speak good English).

Hello, I'm back after a successful week on the road

promoting the new stuff. Highlights included a fire alarm

halfway through a presentation in London and being introduced

as Chris Moyles in a school in Leeds! Thanks to everyone involved.

A visit to Woodhorn Colliery in Ashington sparked these drawings.

Being home to the famous Pitmen Painters, the visit seemed particularly

relevant.

The village of Morebattle, which incidentally,

is actually very peaceful.

A short interlude from a ZOMBIE!

Well why not?

Two quirky sightings of a very different nature but

spotted on the same journey from Yetholm to Edinburgh.

A crow on a pig in a field, which just amused me and

gravestones in the middle of an overgrown field near to Yetholm.

I try and draw when I'm out and about. I think it's important

and it's a good way to remember the places I've been to.

Photographs seem to become endless clutter on my desktop

computer.

Here's a drawing I did on Barstobrick Hill near Ringford

whilst in Dumfries and Galloway.

The view is looking south from Neilson's Monument and

a red kite was circling.

Back to piracy...!

Time to meet Pip.

Here are a few rough drawings of him

before going to final artwork.

Pip is our unlikely hero in the Spindlewood Tales books.

In book one you will discover what Pip is up against

and hear all about;

The Deadman's Hand

The sinister secret of the great walled city of Hangman's Hollow

A forest of sinister trees that will hatch out a swarm of midnight creatures

And if that wasn't enough, there is always the threat of the hook handed man.

To search inside the pages, read the reviews or buy the book, go to

Here are some rough drawings of the buildings inside

the walls of Hangman's Hollow.

Pip and the Wood Witch Curse can be purchased from

Amazon via the link.

Hangman's Hollow

rough drawing & finished artwork

Before I let you through the gates, I thought I should explain to you

that Hangman's Hollow is not a place for the faint hearted. The city

is at war with the forest. Nightmarish creatures spill onto the streets

and lost children are in hiding out of harms way.

But if you do insist on letting yourself in, be careful not to fall foul

of the hook-handed man.
