It’s rare for allotment plotters to stop for tea. I rarely do myself. Public speaking is something else that’s mercifully rare in my life. The two big events where I had to were my very first one, which was after an exhibition of the Association of Illustrators in the 70s when I was chairman and had to thank everyone for all their hard work. I had no work in the exhibition myself, which is a bit rich in the circumstances. I was not selected! The event was also at the Ritz in London’s West End so at least my first … Continue reading Monster like a good speech, this was not a great one…
This spread inspired by the huge pigeons that are barely able to take off after feasting on the allotments where I have my plot. I’m sure one of them follows me home. It walks with a rather old man’s limp looking like it landed without the full landing gear intact. It does n’t walk back with me, that would be weird. Hope you are enjoying all these spreads from my books. You’ll be relieved to know that there are only the two books. If you want any more there’s a surfeit of information on my website. Continue reading Monster pigeon, flying low…
This drawing was inspired in art by Gloucester Park. We used to live very close by the park and it was full of wildlife, not just the normal wildlife that feeds on nuts and scraps, but also the wildlife that wandered down from Eastgate Street on a Saturday night and fed mostly on kebabs and chips. The council, in their infinite wisdom, decided that lighting would be a good idea, to perhaps deter some of the more extreme wild life. When they had finished it looked more like the landing area of an international airport and night did indeed become … Continue reading Monsters in the dark, or are they?
My children’s books for charity has got of to a flying start, so big thanks to all those who have bought them direct from me. Don’t forget that you can get them for a mere fiver each direct from the Longfield shops in the Bath Road in Cheltenham or the King Street branch in Stroud. If you are further afield then go here and I’ll post them out to you. They are little books intended to be read to young children. This is one of my grandchildren’s favourite spreads, better than chocolate spread, apparently. Continue reading What a good start. Thanks.

This book a little different to my other one, being more of the horror genre. Continue reading Monsters on the Plot…the first spread.
This is the cover of my other lockdown book, and is dedicated to fellow plotters. I’d like to say that this cover image shows my own plot but I don’t have the luxury of the shed. It’s a children’s book and as with my other one the proceeds of the sale of the books go to charity. Longfield looks after people at the other end of life and is a local charity to me here in Gloucestershire. They have shops in Cheltenham and Stroud where you can buy copies of the books. They are quite small, the size of a … Continue reading Monsters on the Plot…
