And finally Part 4/4. Huge soft spot for hyper competent characters (bookkeeping) who really fail at something (swords) but deeply enjoy doing it anyway. SWORDCROSSED is out now!!

And finally, with only a week to go until Swordcrossed's release (!!), it's time to meet MATTINESH JAY.
A colourful illustration of a young man with neat black hair seated very upright on a bale of raw wool, holding a duelling rapier and looking back over his shoulder. He is wearing a dark blue trousers and coat over a beige waistcoat. He's surrounded by books, an ink well and abacus, and behind him is a design of a merchant ship picked out in blue-and-white tiles. On a golden chest by his feet are the words HUNA: patron of spinners and weavers.

part 3/4. I love this charming disaster who is very good at duelling and terrible at teaching duelling. And an excuse to research real swords in a sword-filled museum and then draw SWORDS!

We've reached the protagonists, folks! This week, say hello to LUCA PIERE.
A colourful illustration of a young man in brown trousers and a loose green shirt with red hair sticking out everywhere. He's seated and smiling back over one shoulder, holding a gold pocket watch in one hand. The other hand rests on the elaborate hilt of a duelling rapier, and there are more swords nearby. Beneath him are the words PATA: patron of soldiers, guards and duellists.

Part 2/4. Going a bit bonkers with fabrics and colour, as befits this fantasy universe. Maya representing tall girls and rocking silk pants!

This week's character introduction is MAYANESH JAY.
A colourful illustration of a young woman with loose, wavy black hair wearing a red vest over white shirt and yellow trousers, seated with a cheese-and-herb pastry in one hand and a paintbrush in the other. Above her are drapes of rich woven fabrics, and nearby are peacock feathers and coloured dye bottles and samples. On a bolt of fabric are the words UTIS: patron of artists & painters.

I had the pleasure of doing 4 character pieces for Freya's new book SWORDCROSSED! We wanted to showcase some of the cultures and mythology of this fantasy town, and landed on these Leyendecker inspired allegories (but make it cozy)

This week, I'd like you to meet SOFIA COOPER.
A colourful illustration of a young woman with brown curly hair wearing a turquoise-green dress over white skirts and sleeves, seated under a border of roses and grape-bearing vines. She's pouring a cup of hot chocolate and looking out of frame to her left. On a barrel nearby are the words MAHA: patron of vintners & brewers.
