After last month’s sculpting my clay model of Nemesis the Griffin is finally at the foundry. Casting it in bronze has involved making a complex five-piece mould, but it should be ready for collection in a couple of weeks.
Left to right: The final clay model, removing the wax from the plaster mould, and the final wax (which will be lost to the molten bronze).
Books Illustrated will be launching this sculpture at 'Antiques for Everyone' at the NEC Birmingham 27th-30th March where he will be displayed alongside the original Nemisis painting.
Amazon are now taking orders for The Folklore of Discworld. Here is the finished cover which has not yet been approved by Mr Pratchett himself, so we might yet see some changes.
I’ve been working hard on producing two images for the 2009 Discworld calendar this month:
I think Miss Treason is now looking suitably alarming, I have chosen to illustrate the moment she removes her bandages and says,
‘I have heard, now I shall see. I shall see what is true.’

The second image is called ‘Dree Your Weird’ and shows Hamish on his Buzzard surrounded by Rob Anybody and other clan members.
I first designed the look for the Nac Mac Feegles back in 1998 when I read ‘Carpe Jugulum’. Josh Kirby had portrayed them with little blue pixie hats, but I see them as more ‘Braveheart’ than ‘Smurf’. Of course every artist has a different vision, and I look forward to seeing how Stephen Player paints them in the illustrated version of the ‘Wee Free Men’…

As for shows, I currently have an exhibition of 16 of my framed prints at ‘Le Vieux Four’ in Beaminster Dorset. This had to be completely re-hung at the end of the first week as every picture had sold!
I am now looking forward to creating eight new designs to expand our popular ‘Charmed Realm’ range of greetings cards.
