Piggy Stardust animated!

14 March, 2014 by Alex

I’ve been allowed to use some short animations made by JAM Media – the production company working on the Pigsticks and Harold TV show.

Now this won’t work if you don’t have Flash, sadly, but it’s a marvellous little snapshot of Piggy Stardust and the Hamsters from Mars.

Harold in a diving suit

16 August, 2013 by Alex

Harold-diving-suit

The chance came to draw Harold in an old diving suit, so here it is.

It’s an incredibly exciting time for Pigsticks & Harold. I’m not going to talk about why, just yet, but hopefully in time for the launch of the first book in May next year there’ll be some super amazing news.

Keep your ears and eyes open!

Harold at the Discover Story Centre

2 April, 2012 by Alex

I headed up to the Discover Story Centre in Stratford yesterday to run some workshops. It’s such a wonderful place, and the new Superheroes interactive exhibit is awesome!

I drew some yetis, vikings and, of course, Harold and Pigsticks. And the nicest thing was seeing the children draw their own Harolds and Pigsticks(s) later on. I haven’t seen people draw these characters yet, so it was a real thrill!

Here are a couple of them.

International Book Giving Day

9 February, 2012 by Alex

This is a lovely thing, taking place on February 14th.

I’ve seen that Viv Schwarz and Clara Vulliamy have made lovely book plates to stick inside the book you donate – so I thought I’d do the same!

There are also some great ideas for book giving over on the Playing By The Book blog!

Here’s Harold the Hamster, being all giving. Click on him for a hi-res version!

UPDATE: And now you can also download with a dedication and border. Click for biggie!

Merry Christmas!

Here’s to a very lovely Christmas break, and here’s to the first glass of Port for the year!

See you all in 2012. I’m certain it’ll be a good year.
