I'm thrilled to finally share something very special with you – a new book that’s been quietly taking shape behind the scenes: Encounters with Corvids, written by the brilliant Dr Fionn Ó Marcaigh and illustrated and designed by yours truly.
If you'd like to buy a drawing of a particular species from me, but you don't see it in my shop, please ask if I have it.
I have dozens of drawings in my filing cabinet, most of them are part of various large commissions
(I usually draw species separately and combine them on my computer when designing the final artwork, together with the text, if required),
so there's always a chance I might have exactly what you need :)

Some birds demand attention with bright colours or dramatic size. Others earn it through movement.
In a world fascinated by the biggest, tallest and most impressive creatures, it is easy to forget that some of nature's greatest wonders are the ones we almost never notice. Sometimes they are hidden beneath fallen leaves, moving quietly through the grass, or disappearing into the undergrowth before we even realise they were there.
Are you the parent of a budding artist who loves animals and the natural world?
Some of the most important animals on Earth are the ones we can easily overlook: a bee landing on a flower, a hoverfly resting on a leaf, a moth appearing briefly at dusk. These small creatures support the ecosystems around us, and without them, the natural world would look very different.
As some of you might know, after a long and successful career in graphic design and advertising, I decided to dedicate more of my time to wildlife art and illustration.
