'On a frosty winter evening, the Baron watches the snow fall. He is bored and worried. It will soon be Christmas and everything is too quiet. What can he do to bring excitement to the Manor?
His wife, the Baroness, has an idea: he can appoint a King of Christmas, a peasant to take his place. And so begin twelve days of chaos, anarchy and merriment… Inspired by the medieval tradition of appointing a Lord of Misrule, Carol Ann Duffy’s warm and enchanting new Christmas poem takes us into a topsy-turvy world of festivity and celebration, where rules no longer apply.
With beautiful full-colour illustrations by Lara Hawthorne throughout, The King of Christmas is the perfect gift this festive season.’ - See more at: http://www.picador.com/books/the-king-of-christmas#sthash.RhNvaXsf.dpuf

My piece for the folktale themed PrintsCharmingexhibition and silent auction at Hamilton House in Bristol from the 13th-18 Semptember! Money raised will be in aid of Artrefugeuk, a charity that gives support for refugees and displaced people through art and artherapy. @artrefugeuk @PCexhibition
The piece is called: A Bad Way To Treat Friends, based on a folktale from Botswana about a jealous Leopard who accidentally cooks her own children (believing they were the goat’s). Feel free to message me if you’d like a summary of the full story!
I’ve been very silent on social media for a while - so I will show what and when I can of new illustration projects over the next month!
