Wow, can’t believe it’s been 5 weeks since my daughter was born and I last posted on the blog - it’s been a hectic time taking care of a newborn and being swamped with design work.
Enough about that though, it’s time to get back into the saddle and crack on with my illustration journey.
Month In Review
This month has pretty much been filled with the shock and awe of becoming a new dad, changing nappies, soothing all the crying (well, trying to!), rocking my little girl to sleep and enjoying lots of lovely cuddles.
I had started a new collage illustration the week Mali was born and so far I have completed the background - a night time scene this time which was really fun to do, trying to come up with interesting ways to represent the moon and stars.
Here is a pic of the composition sketch and how the finished background looks so far…
The Week Ahead
- Finish the barn owl collage
- Start work on the next collage in my ‘12 British Birds’ series - ‘The Swan’
- Put together a new post based on all of the resources I’ve been storing up over the past month
- Hopefully hear back from the illustrator who will be the feature of the next interview - he’s been away on holiday and is due to be getting back to me with answers to the interview questions next week. As soon as I hear back from him, I will reveal who he is!!!

Great stuff, Dad!!
The series is looking great. Next time I come over I’ll bring the full kit for the pix, or better still, you should bring the pix here - along with that little bundle of course! - and the person to whom she now seems permanently attached!
