After weeks of feverishly working away on Dinosaurs (hence the radio silence on Twitter), I finally squeezed in time to finish the 3rd and final large scale collage for my gallery debut.
Having taken them to be photographed this morning before dropping them off at the gallery to be framed, I finally have decent images of each piece to share here on the site.
As of mid-September the 3 collages will be on display and for sale at Trent Galleries in Newark, Nottinghamshire (UK).
The Grey Heron
Traditional cut paper collage / 580x450mm
The Hare
Traditional cut paper collage / 235x275mm
The Golden Eagle
Traditional cut paper collage / 480x350mm
These look beauiful. Love the detail. Good luck with your gallery debut!
Beautiful illustrations. Amazing vibrancy to the colours! And congratulations on your first show.
These are just fantastic, I especially love the Grey Heron. He is just beautiful. We see a lot of Great Blue Herons at our cottage in Muskoka….so I can appreciate how beautiful your Grey is. Good luck in your gallery debut, I’m sure you will do really well.
This is looking fabulous, Jonathan! Congratulations to your gallery debut! I am sure there will be a lot more to come!
These are so gorgeous Jon! I love the subtle background textures you’ve been doing. I like the tweedy hare very much. I hope you get some buyers very soon… you deserve it!
Congratulations and good luck with the exhibition. I’m amazed how you can get such a naturalistic effect with paper collage.
These are beautiful! Congratulations on your gallery debut – it’s always great to see illustration being recognised as an art too
Thanks so much to everyone for the kind words and encouragement – fingers crossed they go down well with the gallery too
Beautiful work! Congratulations.
I havwe followed your work for a long time, I just wanted to say I admire your the craftsmanship in your work and how I can feel how much you love what you do. It’s a pleasure to watch your beautiful animals.
I just heard your interview on Escape from Illustration Island. Good stuff. I like your work a lot. It reminds me of Eric Carle, but I like yours better.
