Huge thanks to AD Sheri Gee, editor Rob Davies & everyone over at Folio Society. What an incredibly talented and hard-working team. Also massive thanks to the hoards of people who contacted us about doing this book over the past year; keeping quiet about it was so difficult.

I only wish he’d written more books for this series so we could keep the party going…

Quick one for Firewords Magazine (https://firewords.co.uk/twelve). My illo was in response to a great short story, by Ashley Hothersall, about a young girl who falls out with a black widow spider. 


“​Hours later, after sunset, she laid in bed, her blanket tightly wrapped around her. […] ​In her softly lit bedroom, the girl stared listlessly at the abandoned web. Only now could she see it for what it truly was; a trap”

FOREVER COLLECTING DEAD THINGS 2. 

I’ve restocked my Etsy shop with a new and improved version of this patch design. This time it’s woven (not embroidered), so the detail is as crisp as the air in the north of England right now. 

Ships worldwide :)

I’m going to be part of a small exhibition soon, where the work will be displayed at 100cm, so I had to crank up the detail a bit.

Now in my shop (and included in the 25% discount sale this weekend), an A3 print of my illustration, Resting Place II. 

Companion piece to Resting Place, but featuring Death’s Head bugs (Eucorysses grandis), since I’ve drawn a heck of a lot of moths already.

25% off at vectorthatfox.etsy.com until Sunday, because Millhouse decided that he’d rather get Pancreatitis than sleep in a tent for 3 nights, & insurance might take a while to pay the puppy hotel (vet) bill. The silly sausage says thanks and please share

One of the few collaborative projects I’ll agree to do, is one where somebody under the age of 12 is in charge.

Braden designed, what I saw as, a mash up of a dinosaur and an AT-AT Walker, for this year’s Monster Project.

I’m eternally convinced that the kids’ drawings are better than the “professionals”, and so I hope Braden isn’t too mad at me for this rendition.

The anatomy is as close to the original as I could make it, and I made the background snowy to keep it similar to the white page, but also to show how massive I thought this monster could be.

Because seasons don’t count on the internet! 

Here’s a full page, some spot illustrations and backgrounds, and the final layout plan I did for Popshot Magazine, last winter.

Advent, by @ariannareiche, is the story of a young child’s daunting experience participating in a traditional Joseph Steiner school pagan ritual. Candles set in apples are placed one by one in a spiral, until the room is slowly lit up by the flames. The story explains the event better…

A few new stickers have jumped into my shop. Here’s the full gang of individual vinyls currently available!

They ship worldwide, and look great when you stick them to your mum’s car bumper without permission.

Resting Place.

For a while I’ve been looking at my framed Death’s Head Hawkmoth and thinking about the skull marking and body as a tiny human sarcophagus.

It’s super hard to see detail online, but big prints and vinyl stickers are available here.

I never actually shared the new ones from my ongoing series of skulls, so here’s the current gang. I redrew the cat skull, because I prefer to keep more of a side profile (consistency that would highlight the similarities and differences).

They’re available as a 6-pack of postcards in my shop, and there’s a die-cut vinyl sticker of the wolf skull coming very soon.

A Compsognathus fossil, once thought to be discovered carrying an embryo, was later found to be housing the skeleton of a Bavarisaurus lizard that had been swallowed whole.
A while ago I drew a lot of rocks for a magazine feature, and as a wind down from that, I drew some more. The perspective was purposefully not just ‘straight on’, and bloody challenging as a result (you don’t need to know how many drawings were scrapped before I was happy with the poses).

Prints available here.

Cassini Logic*, 2018. 
Another space-based illustration, in response to the Cassini–Huygens mission’s beautiful final act in 2017. 

Available as a print, and a vinyl sticker here.

*The title is because of the song ‘Houdini Logic’ by Circle Takes The Square. At first it was probably just because the words sound similar, but the more I thought about it, the more I saw parallels between the mission and the brilliant / awful song that I loved so much as a teenager.

I had the pleasure of illustrating ‘The Escaped Jaguar’, by Phillip Mitchell, in the latest issue of Popshot Magazine. It features a zoo, a mystery, an absolute creep, and couldn’t be more suited to me as a piece of writing.

Millhouse, my new guard dog, says it’s a real page-turner.
