Medical Research Council Tests

A few weeks back I pitched for a job that didn't come off, for a comic for the Medical Research Council, here's what I came up with...

The comic was to introduce a younger audience to some of the 'heroes' of medical research. The illustration above is of Sir Almroth Edward Wright, trying to convince some volunteers to test out his typhoid vaccine. It's a good job someone did!

For help around the Classroom

I have been making some poster to display around the classrooms at the School I work in, to try an encourage the students to take pride in keeping the place tidy. Let's see if it works!...

Good sound advice

Pocked up this first aid manual from the brimming shelves of a charity shop in Stamford last week, some wonderful illustrations but not sure I'd like to be treated with the advice on it's pages :)

Festivals on the Lawn!

Towards the end of last year I had the pleasure to work with the folk behind an awesome one day festival called 'Lawnfest',
Lawnfest is a music and arts festival that helps raise funds for West Heath - a school in Sevenoaks that supports traumatised children.

The brief was really up my street, with lots of little groups of people up to different things, representing some of the fun things you might experience at the festival.

Here's the stage and it's band rocking out in the free world!

This magician has probably even surprised himself pulling off this trick 

As part of the festival there is an art auction, and I think this Crocodile boy feels a bit copied!

 Just Chillin!

I have seen this man many a time at many a festival

 

Little jivers all around the place and...

...a man in a tree, naturally!

What a thoroughly lovely weekend...we've had yummy breakfasts, snowy visits to sweet shops, roast dinners, sewing galore and made some new snowman friends. Just lovely :)
