It’s been a while since I posted any new work, so I thought I would share a preview of a project I’m working on just now.

Quoting for freelance work is very much a learning curve, and in the beginning you can easily under quote or underestimate the time it will take to complete the work. But with each project that you quote for, and each piece of work you complete, the process will get easier.

There are many examples of beautiful photography online, and so many places to find them. I’ve chosen a few of mine from DeviantArt for this latest inspiration showcase.

Going freelance is exciting and the thought of being your own boss and avoiding the 9 to 5 regime can be very appealing. However, inexperience often leads new freelancers to make mistakes.

Everyone loves a freebie and I’d like to show 5 awesome black and white vector freebies that I’ve come across.

Back in October, I posted a couple of sketches for Alex’s Christmas present, a series of paintings of jungle animals.

After a mad rush pre-Christmas to get them finished, here are the final paintings…

There’s snow on the ground, The Snowman is on TV and later there’ll be chestnuts roasting – it must be Christmas!

2009 has been a busy year…

Most creative people at some point will have their work stolen; it’s the risk we take in displaying it, especially online where a simple right click of the mouse can make a copy of something you created. We’ve all read stories about it or heard of it happening to someone else. But what do you do when it happens to you?

Here’s the initial sketch for a series of paintings for my nephew’s Christmas present…

… and a colour version as well. This is ink and gouache on paper, and very rough!
