Fantastic Creatures Big Draw Colchester 2011 - WATCH THIS SPACE....

I am organising a Big Draw event in Colchester, Essex around the theme of Fantastic Creatures and details will follow VERY shortly!!!!

I've organised Big Draw events in London and participated in the Guardian and Observer event as a guest illustrator since 2008 and I LOVE the whole event concept.

Watch this space for more information - and in the meantime, here's a sneak preview of my first fantastic creature...

Annual Guardian and Observer Big Draw event 2011

I'm really excited to be a guest illustrator at the annual Guardian and Observer Big Draw event on 8th October 2011.  

 

 

This is my third year of running illustration workshops at this great event and it is always a busy and inspiring day - a brilliant opportunity for children and held in the beautiful venue that is King's Place.
