Welcome! I know what you’re thinking. ‘A post about pigeons? No, thank you!’ Well, if you stick around, prepare yourself for some interesting facts about which you need to know. No. Really. You might even learn to love the pigeon!

Late last year there was a story of a Bengal tiger called Cara who was given a gold tooth. Of course, it looks amazing. Cara, who lives in a German zoo, can now gnaw bones to her hearts content while looking badass. I did a sketch of her…

Way back (I posted it on behance in 2012 but I think I drew it long before then), I did a sketch of a fox at the supermarket. You can tell it’s long ago because the fox has those free plastic carrier bags which were thrown around everywhere without a care.…

This page cracks me up. I really love giving the animals I draw names and personalities, and some of these are favourites of mine. These will be available as a print on my Etsy shop soon, both this sketch version and a coloured version. They’d look gorgeous in…

Hello there, lovely people! It’s time for another new print, and this time it comes with a strange but happy story. Sometimes you have to see things as being messages, especially when they’re so bizarrely well timed. This little guy was one of my reference sketches for a…

There is, one knows not what, sweet mystery about this sea, whose gently awful stirrings seem to speak of some hidden soul beneath. Hello friends! This whale illustration might be one of my favourite things that I’ve ever drawn. Although I can’t say that it’s an illustration from…

When walking my two very enthusiastic dogs the other day (and when I say ‘walk’, I mean dragged along at high speed by my dogs :D), I got the idea to do this illustration. There was a beautiful reference in Troyt Coburn’s ‘A Study in Pastel’ shoot for…
