I’m Merry, and I love creating whimsical illustrations full of life. Traditional ways of working are very important to me, on any given day you can find me with my pots of inks, watercolours and my trusty dip pen. First stop ghouls and goblins, next stop fairies and princesses.

A double page spread of a graphic novel I am writing, featuring a fantasy quest.
My major project was to create four double page spreads and book cover based on my own graphic novel. I was set on using inks and watercolours, this way of working also led me to extend my digital editing skills.

A book illustration for ‘The Princess Bride’, using Turkish fabric patterns and medieval borders to show Fezzik as a baby. A double page spread for a childrens book based on my experience of growing up in different brass band circles. A map originally drawn as endpapers for my graphic novel, drawn in the style of antique naval maps.
