#calender of tales

Just a heads up, never try and draw a pinecone. They’re hard. D: This was all cut from a single sheet of card.

This is my first entry for Neil Gaiman’s Keep Moving project. It’s for the story for September, which you can read for free here:

(Please read them, they’re amazing.)

The project is asking artists to illustrate each of the stories, and then Neil will pick out his favourites to be included in the final version. Mine depicts the lion ring and a pinecone as they fall through the air and into the water.

If you like to then please please reblog it. :)

This is my entry for the March Tale in Neil Gaiman’s ‘A Calender of Tales’ project. It shows Anne Bonny, old and young, with the ship she so desires in the centre.

I’m really pleased with how this turned out, I thought I’d really push myself this time because I find people pretty hard to draw and make paper cuts of. I love the project, I think it’s encouraged me to do some of my best and most interesting work. The second and third photos are to show what it looks like unmounted; I really like how the shadows play on the wall.
