The page with the butterflies is so beautiful. I need more of this in my life.

As promised, selected pages from my self promotional book. Size is A5, limited to 20 copies. A fair selection of work was included in varying styles to entice potential customers and show flexibility.
Not overly pleased with the title, it was a generic filler that I decided to go with due to time constraints, and felt it fit.
I only have 3 copies left, for swaps/sale. The rest have been distributed at the London Book Fair to art directors and relevant publishers.
Amanda Wood, Publishing Director at Templar Publishing commented that she felt I’ve concentrated too much on one subject. I agree wholeheartedly on this, and feel that perhaps I should have done a more general piece, including other animals and ephemera from worldwide history and cultures. This applies to my portfolio too. On the plus side, she really liked my work and style, and advised putting all my effort into promoting my work to museums and similar institutions.

Five or five hundred million years ago we were fifteen foot high, and to die was a bridge we never thought we’d cross.
