'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.

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.

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

Pip and the Wood Witch Curse can be purchased from

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.
