Textures, patterns, icons, flowers, trees, Halloween images, borders and frames available from VectorHills portfolio on shutterstock, here is a preview of some of the artwork available to download:

New Mix and Match Books
December 2, 2013These were 2 books which I worked on with Egmont UK for Sandy Creek an imprint of Sterling Publishing. They are Mix and Match Board Books with muddled up pictures to match up in the right order:
They are available from Barnes and Noble, USA: Does a Pig Sleep in a Bowl, Does a Train Fly Through the Sky. I did all the sketches and colour work for Does a Pig Sleep in a Bowl, and both book covers. Due to work commitments the inside colour artwork was worked up by Fred van Deelen for Does a Train Fly Through the Sky.
