The Canterbury Tales



I'm part of an Illustration collective, and one of our recent challenges was to design a new book cover for Chaucers' Canterbury tales, and here's mine. I enjoyed having a go at some pen and ink drawings, not done those for a while! My idea was to show the different characters and elements of thier stories, but keep it all looking like it belonged as part of a set. Sort of like how all the various pilgrims are travelling together in a big mis-matched group. I wanted it to look old but not grimy. If you've not read them, give them a go. The stories are really old, but full of lively characters bickering and telling tall tales.

some new things





Hello
Here is some sneaky peaks of what I've been working on recently, I can't show the whole things yet. Sorry!
My Shakespeare illustration has been entered for this month's Flair competition, see it here.
