At the end of April @JustinCapps asked me to do some illustrations for his doctoral thesis. As well as being one of my favourite tweeters Justin is also incredibly talented and I was honoured to be asked. The illustrations above featured in the different sections of …That the Children May Learn.
Justin asked me to produce pieces which were ‘stylistically naïve with elements of the dark side’ – an ideal recipe for me to work with.
‘…That the Children May Learn is an interdisciplinary project intended to bring people from different fields and interests together to discuss issues pertinent to the subject of children and war in an open and apolitical setting.’

A friendship with Spring and a love affair with Summer.
This piece was inspired by the well-known nursery rhyme, The Cow Jumped Over the Moon. As with any rhyme or fairytale there are many theories on what this rhyme is all about, I find the most interesting being that it connects to the skies of the northern hemisphere during spring. See the wikipedia entry if you dont trust me:

Or if you prefer the collage can represent how damn wonderful primary colours are. We’d be nowhere without them.
