Churchill Car Show 2024

2024 The Churchill Car Show has been running since the late 80’s and became a very popular stop on the UK car show circuit. After a 6 year gap, it’s back in 2024, and as it takes place very close to home, I was very happy to provide designs for the publicity and the souvenir […]

The Big Bash

2024 The Big Bash is the party for the community that customarily takes place the night before the Car Show. (If you’ve got a marquee up you may as well get the use out of it! ) This design is based on a photo I took (much manipulated) of the marquee that was put up […]

Christmas Soiree

2022 Poster design for our Village Hall Christmas party, 2022.

Christmas Party

2024 Our 2023 Christmas Party design featured a snowglobe containing Churchill’s well-loved landmark, the Langston Water Fountain …

Community Cafe

2024 Our Village Hall hosts a Community Cafe every Tuesday morning, which was in need of a new look! 

Teas on the Green

2024 Teas on the Green is an annual event at our Village Hall every May Day Bank Holiday. This year’s event made more money than ever before, I like to think my poster had a part to play in that achievement. Sadly, the dazzling sunshine promised in the design didn’t quite materialise. You can’t have […]

Pot Luck

2024 This event got postponed unfortunately, but I was quite pleased with the poster, so maybe it will get another outing another time!

Wolf Brother

2004 The first volume of Michelle Paver’s celebrated series, Chronicles of Ancient Darkness. Wolf Brother is the tale of a Neolithic boy left alone in the forest, who meets an orphaned wolf cub. The relationship between boy and wolf is the heart of the series, which takes place in a dark and threatening world of […]

Spirit Walker

2005 The second book in Michelle Paver’s series Chronicles of Ancient Darkness. In this book Torak travels to an island tribe and has a close encounter an orca …    

Soul Eater

2006 The third book in Michelle Paver’s series Chronicles of Ancient Darkness. In this story Torak travels to the frozen north to rescue Wolf, who has been kidnapped by an evil group of Mages …  I was pretty pleased with how my polar bear drawing came out – all bloody fangs … !

Outcast

2024 The fourth book in Michelle Paver’s series, Chronicles of Ancient Darkness, about Torak and his Wolf Brother. In this book, Torak is banished from his tribe and must face the evil Viper Mage – which gave me a nice excuse to draw a big snake.  My second favourite cover of the series!

Oath Breaker

2008 The fifth of Michelle Paver’s series, Chronicles of Ancient Darkness. In this story Torak travels to the deep forest, where strange tribes and wild horses live. This is probably my favourite of the whole series… I stole the horse pose from Napoleon Crossing the Alps painted by Jacques-Louis David  which I think works rather well!

Ghost Hunter

2009 The sixth of Michelle Paver’s series, Chronicles of Ancient Darkness, about Torak and his Wolf Brother. This is the concluding instalment of the story that began in 2004 with Wolf Brother. I was quite sad when the design for the last of the six books was completed, it had been a thrilling journey …  […]

Vipers Daughter

Viper’s Daughter 2019 After a gap of ten years, Michelle Paver decided to return to the world of Wolf Brother, with three further gripping stories, published by Head of Zeus. I was so thrilled and touched when Michelle asked for me personally to work on the covers, and it was a really lovely experience. The […]

Skin Taker

2020 Skin Taker is the second of the three new books, and eighth overall, of Michelle Paver’s well known series about Torak and his Wolf Brother. In this story Torak’s world is shattered by a meteor strike, and evil forces try to take over the tribes. I  enjoyed using ash and burnt and damaged textures […]

Wolf Bane

2021 Wolf Bane is the third of the three new books, and ninth overall, of Michelle Paver’s well known series about Torak and his Wolf Brother. The final book – and I think this time it really is the last one – was a treat to work on, and I think it was a fitting […]

Shadow of the Minotaur

Vampyr Legion

2010 Alan Gibbon’s Legendeer three book series, telling tales based on dark myths and stories from history. Each cover zoomed in on the alarming character in the story – I like a bit of scary. Illustrations by Tony Fleetwood.

Warriors of the Raven

2010 Alan Gibbon’s Legendeer three book series, telling tales based on dark myths and stories from history, this one taking place during the time of the Vikings  The illustration of the viking helmet was by Tony Fleetwood, but the rugged and threatening face belongs to David Brown, who is really a very nice man!
