the hole behind the hedgerow monday 31 october 2011 i ve moved the hole behind the hedgerow is now here see you there posted by tom at monday october 31 2011 no comments monday 31 january 2011 exciting times well 2011 is turning out pretty good so far i m working on a couple of books for real life publishers who want me to draw pictures for them it s been really exciting and hopefully the start of a long and illustrious career drawing kids books in a shed at the bottom of the garden here s a sneaky peek the first is a book for pearson and it s being put together by the wonderful folks at bigtop design who have been super friendly i m also working on a series of books about a mystery solving gang of mermaids for boxer books it s really early days but i m excited about the characters here s a few of them this has all given me a really good excuse to buy lots of pens which makes me very happy posted by tom at monday january 31 2011 no comments tuesday 18 january 2011 books books books the pile of unread and half read books by my bed is getting bigger my long term concentration span is not what it was maybe i m getting alzheimers posted by tom at tuesday january 18 2011 no comments wednesday 5 january 2011 resolution so here s one of my new years resolutions in a handy iphone wallpaper format so i can can remind myself everyday please feel free to download it and use it if you need a similar reminder it s ironic that it involved very little drawing though i m failing already this was part of a project by new york designer chris steger whose set up the to resolve project and he very kindly posted my wallpaper up there too cheers chris posted by tom at wednesday january 05 2011 4 comments thursday 23 december 2010 merry crimble have a wonderful christmas everybody love from tom tabby archie and seth x posted by tom at thursday december 23 2010 no comments monday 15 november 2010 spent this was going to be for illustration friday but i was too late there was meant to be a bike in it too but i thought it looked quite good without one posted by tom at monday november 15 2010 1 comment friday 12 november 2010 domestic abuse campaign we are about to go live with a big domestic abuse campaign so i thought i d pop the artwork up here i m pleased with the result it s the first time i d actually had the budget to realise a concept properly we hired actors a brilliant photographer my good pal and bandmate anthony jones and a venue and the photoshoot went really smoothly unfourtunately due to a bit of administrative oversight the head of my department didnt see the images until the very last minute and she didnt approve of the last poster with the domestic scene she felt it was too violent and was worried we would get into trouble with the press i understand her concern but i still think that us showing a bit of bravery by putting this up would stand us in good stead with the public for a change i felt that this was a project where we could make a bit of difference to people by putting out a thought provoking campaign but alas fear won out in the end as it so often does posted by tom at friday november 12 2010 no comments thursday 11 november 2010 afterwards this weeks illustration friday entry is a slight cheat as it is actually my wifes birthday present which happens to fit in with this weeks theme i was stomping up the hill after a particularly horrendous day at work listening to godspeed you black emporer and thinking about what i could do for tabbys birthday when my mind drifted to what we would do in the event of an apocolypse as a family i decided that before we did anything else we would have to comandeer 3 dinosaurs and a sabre tooth tiger and from there the world would be our oyster it s a bit of a risk posting this up for illustration friday though as it s not my wifes birthday until saturday i m fairly certain she wont see it though so fingers crossed posted by tom at thursday november 11 2010 9 comments saturday 4 september 2010 i tattooed my banjer posted by tom at saturday september 04 2010 no comments here be dragons _g107621 originally uploaded by tombabylon it s always so lovely seeing your work in print posted by tom at saturday september 04 2010 1 comment tuesday 31 august 2010 illustration friday immovable well last night we had a terrible nights sleep but at least it resulted in a good idea for this weeks illustration friday theme immovable and the little bugger certainly was no matter how many times you turn them the right way they always seem to end up parallel to the headboard maybe he s pointing towards mecca or something then he had the cheek to say that our bed smelled and could i put him back in his straight away thankyou very much posted by tom at tuesday august 31 2010 10 comments tuesday 24 august 2010 illustration friday atmosphere midnight courtyard originally uploaded by tombabylon this is my entry for this weeks illustration friday theme atmosphere it was originally a spread for teach primary hence the big space with not much going on it it but i was pleased with the sense of atmosphere i manage to conjure up in this one posted by tom

the island race _g106433 originally uploaded by tombabylon it was our annual round the island race on wednesday the midway point of mersea week i m not quite ready for jumping in and out of boats yet so i sat it out this year but had a great time watching the boats coming across the strood posted by tom at friday august 13 2010 1 comment friday 6 august 2010 from the sketchbook here are some sketches of the boys doing what boys do best looking under rocks and playing in the mud posted by tom at friday august 06 2010 no comments wednesday 4 august 2010 one massive ear poor old seth got stung by a mosquito on the ear while he slept now it s gone mahoosive hard not to laugh at the poor little mite he s walking around all unsymmetrical and flappy posted by tom at wednesday august 04 2010 no comments how to trap a dragon here s another spread for teach primary my 3 year old son pointed out quite correctly that the men hiding behind the tree didnt dig the hole big enough may have to go back to the drawing board posted by tom at wednesday august 04 2010 no comments sunday 1 august 2010 thankyou i have no intention of covering anything personal in this blog as it s purely a receptacle for silly drawings and pretty photos which will no doubt be infrequently updated i m having a bit of a flurry today because i ve only just worked out how to do it however i ve been through the mill a bit medically speaking recently and tabby and i were completely overwhelmed by the support we received from our friends and family it really did make this whole rum do so much easier to cope with i am totally on the mend now so i am a bit embarrassed when people are still offering me their well wishes but i wanted to take this opportunity to say thanks it s pretty life affirming to know that we are surrounded by so many excellent and caring human beings i drew this drawing with the intention of making it into a card and sending it to all the doctors and nurses and everyone else who has been so supportive but my printer is knackered therefore i am firing it into this virtual space where it can float around dishing out benevolent thanks until i buy a new ink cartridge posted by tom at sunday august 01 2010 1 comment saturday 31 july 2010 post it note policemen postit policemen layout 1 qxd originally uploaded by tombabylon here are some drawings i did of policemen and

beard just like george harrison posted by tom at saturday july 31 2010 no comments thursday 2 october 2008 the holes beneath the hedgerow here s an illustration i did for primary times magazine for a feature on underground habitats i m chuffed i managed to get the kids into the magazine they gave me lots of encouragement when i was doing this one which was a great help as i was losing faith in it archie stared at it for ages and tried to decide which hole he would live in and seth was just excited to see artee and animalzh in the same picture i was pleased with how it came out posted by tom at thursday october 02 2008 1 comment wednesday 20 august 2008 illustration friday poof this should have been my first if entry but i was too darn tardy here is a down on his luck magician on his way
