I’d like to say a BIG thank you to everyone who popped by mine and Josh Hurley’s print stall in Leeds and Manchester this weekend. We had a lovely time earning pennies to put towards our first home together. Thanks to Sean Mort and Carley Batley for making Northern Craft in Leeds such a roaring success. Also, cheers for the ham sarnie. You winners.  Josh and I will be at Renegade London next. See you guys then!

A recent illustration for Brides Magazine.  A joy to work on!

It’s the hottest day of the year so far and all I can think about is ice cream. Creating this print was just an excuse to dream about flavours that I wish I could eat every day. All day. Like right now.  

Ice cream print available here.

NEW PRINT! Available for pre-order in my Etsy store now!

I've had lots of enquiries about the Amsterdam print I created last year. So many people have asked if they could purchase it as a print. I've altered the illustration a little and it's now available to buy. Sorry you had to wait so long!

Where's your favourite place? Is there anywhere in particular that means something to you? (A little bit of my heart will always belong to Falmouth, Cornwall...)

I'm teaching a personalised map workshop this Sunday at Dot to Dot Gallery in Letchworth, Herts. I'm offering budding artists the chance to document their favourite location. I'll guide you through the illustrated map process and advise you on how best to illustrate your special place.

We can sip tea, eat cake, natter and draw. Bring a print out (or screenshot on your phone!) of the rough outline of your location. We won't be aiming for acute geographical accuracy... We will be creating an artistic impression of the area which I hope you'll treasure forever :)

Any questions, just ask! Alternatively, contact @Rhapsode for more details.

You can book your place online here.

I’ve really enjoyed working in monochrome recently. These dancers are from a recent project with Lonely Planet.

I created nearly 200 illustrations for ‘The Cities Book’ which will be published by Lonely Planet in Autumn 2016.
