The Spanish Fallas has come and gone and Easters on the way. For those of you not familiar with the Fallas please check out http://www.fallasfromvalencia.com/ I highly recommend the Falla’s in Valencia – incredible craftsmanship, time and skill goes into making these sculptures but the ones in Valencia are by far the grandest - it seems such a shame to burn them!

My entry piece for the children’s illustrator’s competition at the London Book Fair.
There wasn’t really brief for this (at least I couldn’t find one on the website ?!) so I based my theme on Once Upon A Time - the starting point of all classic illustrations. The idea was to have the characters almost coming alive and falling out of the book, even the letters seem to be making a dash for it as the dragon and the knight battle it out and the book catches fire. I was pleased with the result, unfortunately I didn’t win the competition, but at least I have another picky for the old portfolio.
Over the last couple of months I’ve been working on some private, miniature commissions. As you can see, my commissioner’s have quite an imagination!
I’ve also made some updates to the miniature section - http://elysiumrain.com/TeenyTinyCreations.html
Hope you all have a happy Easter and enjoy the holiday!
