Available for commission illustrations and paintings I am very happy to be invited back to Cookham Primary School. Its been a few years since I worked with them so I made this illustration as part of a presentation about my work to the children and staff during a morning assembly.
We are working on a story ‘The Day The River Disappeared’ and I will be setting up my studio in the school for one week from Monday 15th January.
I have put more details about the project on my blog here
To follow the Art Week progress, please do check in!
I was commissioned by a couple to make a painting of and about their daughters. 
This is one of two finished pieces.
I have written about the commission process here

Wren asked him ‘What is your name and what are you?’
And to this he raised his arms, circling them above his head and said ‘I am The Boy Named Crow.’
