I’m well into book two of Axel Storm artwork now. The book is called Storm Rider. Axel gets caught up in the ropes of a helium balloon and dragged up into the sky where a violent storm is brewing. Is he going to make it? You’ll have to wait until the books come out later this year to find out, but here is a sneak preview of some of the artwork I did today – the very moment that axel is hauled up into the air.

Actually, this is all great fun for me as I’ve not drawn artwork for about four years now, I’ve done my last four series entirely on the computer. It was a bit strange at first, but I’m getting into the swing of it now. The lady at the post office is pleased to see me with my bundles of artwork. It’s not quite the same, just pressing a button and emailing a whole books worth of artwork in seconds.
