Nelson 'N' Deck Adventures

After months of secrecy and hard work behind the scenes, the new children's book I have illustrated is ready for the shelves! Nelson 'N' Deck was a real pleasure to work on, the scenes of London were particularly tricky and time consuming but as they needed to be spot on it was time I needed to spend. The author Chris Gillott sent me a lovely testimonial.

"Stacey has been an absolute dream to work with. From the very first time I explained my project and artwork concepts and requirements with her - she has delivered way above my expectations. My brief was for Stacey to deliver some stunning full colour illustrations to compliment the book I had written, "Nelson 'n' Deck and Friends: How the Adventures Began". This is the first in a series of children's books I have published with the aims of making London fun for kids, educating them about all London has to offer all year round, and to help children's charities with the profits from the book. Stacey listened to my specific ideas for the styles I wanted and came up with loads of brilliant suggestions too. As you will see from the book cover artwork she has done an amazing job on not only the cover, but on all the images within the book (over 20!) for which I am eternally grateful. I also got Stacey to design my corporate logo as well for Star789 Limited. She is a totally undiscovered talent (although she is getting a lot of exposure now!) and I really look forward to continue working with her on the follow-up books in my series. All I can say is whatever your illustration needs are, give her a call and ask her to work for you - you will be more than delighted with the results!"

I'd Do Anything Part 2


Finally got it finished. Really pleased with it as well. I think it works because of the costumes and stuff. I might do more show pictures, next one is pirates of penzance so hopefully ther'll be some great pics!

Down the rabbit hole

I drew this picture of Alice falling down the rabbit hole One lunchtime at work. I needed to draw something cause i was having one heck of a day!

It was done straight from memory so I'm quite happy that I got the proportions right etc. I got bored when it came time to colouring the teapot and stuff, maybe I'll go back at a later date and edit it.

Also not entirely happy with Alice's face. It's nice to do a full scene, especially one from such an iconic film, and also one that I love!
