Winner of Folio Society / House of Illustration 'The Outsider' Competition!

I can now report that I have won the Folio Society / House of Illustration 'The Outsider' Competition - v v pleased! I needed to keep it hush hush for the last couple of months which has been v hard, now I can tell the world! The prize was a commission to work on "The Outsider" by Albert Camus. Had a great launch and prizegiving evening last night - thanks to everyone who came! It was great to meet the other shortlisted illustrators - Chungwoon Choi, Georgina Hounsome, Anne-Marie Jones, Joseph Melhuish and Alenka Sottler, as well as Quentin Blake who was one of the judges and presented prizes. Here are a couple of the images from the book. More from the book on Heart website.

    Lovely work well done. Glad I didn't go in for it now - couldn't possibly compete!

    Wow. Absolutely fantastic. I am probably your biggest fan.
    If you did a signing I would be there. Ha.

    Congratulations!
