Elephant Parade London: #181 Kubella - The Seaside Elephant

London has been experiencing insanely hot weather over the weekend. The perfect time to head to the beach with Kubella – The Seaside Elephant. Here she is enjoying an ice-cream down by the sea...

Elephant Parade London: #228 Mr Cameron, #230 Mr Brown, #257 Mr Clegg

When the final votes were cast in the Elephant Parade auction, the results of the Political Pachyderm Prizefight ended up mirroring the General Election with Mr Cameron coming out on top with £9750, Mr Brown in second place with £8270 and Mr Clegg in last place with £7400.

But just like the General Election, Mr Clegg ended up joining forces with Mr Cameron and poor old Mr Brown got the boot. Poor Mr Brown!

Elephant Parade London: #167 Elephish

There were a number of species-confused elephants in the Elephant Parade. One of my favourites (and among the first elephants I found) was Elephish. Is he an elephant, or is he a fish? Whatever the answer, I think he'd have some trouble staying afloat in the water...

Elephant Parade London: #53 Nana

I know some people didn't like Nana, but I thought she was rather sweet. Maybe because she reminded me of my own nan (...Because she always wore a scarf around her head when she went out, not because she looked like an elephant!).

Elephant Parade London: #255 The City In The Elephant

So the Elephant Parade London is now officially over, but I've decided to keep on drawing members of the Elephant Parade.

The City In The Elephant is a strange one. From the outside he appears fairly mundane – a plain red elephant covered in plastic domes. But when you look through the plastic domes you discover his secret: inside is a miniature city with even more miniature elephants filling its tiny streets and buildings.

But he looks a bit like a Dalek...

Amelia's Magazine - David Mach's Silver Streak

Amelia's Magazine has reviewed the Royal Academy of Art's Summer Exhibition, featuring my illustration of David Mach's Silver Streak an imposing sculpture of a gorilla that is made entirely from coat hangers...



This was quite a challenge to draw, but I enjoyed the process and am happy with the final image. If you're in the London area, I'd recommend popping along to the Royal Academy and checking out the exhibition which is on until the 22 August...

Elephant Parade London: #77 Pit Bingko

Okay, first of all I have a confession to make, Pit Bingko is probably my least favourite of all the elephants in the Elephant Parade. There I've said it. Apologies to the artists involved, but he's pretty freaky looking, and reminded me of the melting Nazi's at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark...

But I took pity on the poor fella, and decided what he really needed was a good iron to get rid of those creases and wrinkles...
