Sharon Langdon

I am fortunate enough to be engaged to the beautiful Sharon Langdon, but not only is she a very special person, she is also an incredible illustrator.

Unlike me, she is a far more mature illustrator and doesn't spend her time drawing biscuit cartoon characters (it's a shame, I know).

Why not check out some of her incredible work on her site. I have put a little teaser below.

Kevin the Rabbit

I have had this image up on my personal website for a while now, but I thought I would post it here just in case you've not stumbled across it yet.

Blog posts have been a bit thin on the ground lately as I have had a really busy few months doing adult things, like organising my wedding and being involved in a lot of big projects.

The next couple of weeks will be pretty hectic for me, but after that I am looking forward to showing some more work on here, so stay tuned folks.

So long Mickey...

After working for Disney for around ten years, my fiancée has taken a big step by leaving the company to fulfil her dreams of being a freelance illustrator.

To mark this special occasion I made her this delightful card.

She absolutely oozes talent and I know this will be the best decision she has ever made. You can check out her work at www.sharonlangdon.co.uk

Pirate Riddle

Recently I was approached about illustrating a riddle which was to go into the quiz section of a leading accountancy magazine.

The riddle was pirate themed and went as follows:

A pirate ship was anchored at Smuggler’s Cove with its rope ladder hanging off the port side into the water. The ladder’s rungs were each spaced one-foot apart, five rungs were above water level. With the tide coming in from the starboard side at a rate of six inches an hour how many rungs were still visible four hours later at high tide?

Personally I feel my strengths lie in character design and so for me it was crucial to try and squeeze in as many as possible, whilst not distracting you from the key point of the riddle.

I was really pleased with the final outcome and hope that this will be a good launchpad for future magazine commissions.
