One of my favourite projects to work on this year was a commissioned illustration of Clevedon's Queen's Square for the Clevedon Twilight Market.

The Clevedon Christmas Twilight Market is being held this Saturday, December 4, 2021 from 12noon to 7pm and will feature screenings from Clevedon's Curzon Cinema, which will be showing silent films and archive footage from the town.

See a reworked version of the illustration (which the market, Discover Clevedon, the Curzon and more have all shared on their social media pages!) encouraging people to shop local this Christmas below, and check out my illustrations of Clevedon which are for sale on my Etsy shop here. Also do get in touch if you'd like to commission a similar project!

The official switch-on of the Christmas lights in Clevedon town centre may have been postponed by Storm Arwen at the weekend, but they still switched the lights on and they are looking fantastic! Here are some photos I took around Clevedon Triangle on Saturday of the Clevedon Clock Tower, the "Merry Christmas Clevedon" sign which is in Clevedon's Queen's Square and the lovely lights on Clevedon Baptist Church. I've also posted a few pictures from the Clevedon Alexandra Gardens lights display on my blog and if you'd like to buy any of my illustrations of Clevedon for gifts, stocking fillers, etc.. then you can visit my Etsy shop here!

I'm excited to release a brand new Christmas card for 2021 of the beautiful shopping street of Hill Road in Clevedon, North Somerset!

Taking inspiration from my existing card featuring a festive Clevedon town centre and the iconic Curzon Cinema, I decided to change things up a little bit by designing a night-time scene, complete with some of the wonderful Christmas lights that are currently in the area. (see some of my pictures of the Light Up The Parks display on my blog here).

The card is available to buy on my Etsy shop here. For bulk orders or to stock in a shop, please email me via the contact form or on social media (Facebook and Instagram).

After the planned Clevedon Literary Festival was postponed in 2020 because of you know what, the event is finally coming to Clevedon on June 11/12, 2021! And I'm pleased to show off the map and flyer that I've designed for the event, which I also illustrated too. Someone has put the flyer up outside their house, below. All the details for the festival are on its Facebook page here.

The festival has also shared close ups of my map on its Instagram feed:

There is a beautiful Christmas lights display in Alexandra Gardens in Clevedon at the moment!

Funded by Clevedon businesses, the Clevedon BID has put up some beautiful lights in the park between the two independent shopping streets of Alexandra Road and Hill Road to make it look like an enchanted forest at night.

They are switched on at 3pm every night and there are also other lights on Hill Road and Alexandra Road. The park itself is a beautiful place to visit in the day too as dozens of squirrels charge around, up and down the trees.

It's also just a short walk from the seafront and Clevedon Pier.

Here are some of my pictures of the Clevedon Christmas lights (you can click on each picture to see my designs of Clevedon too):

And the Discover Clevedon post on Instagram about the lights too:

I was really happy to sell out of my first ever Clevedon Pier jigsaw, that I released as a limited edition of just 5 last week.

Lots of people asked if there would be any more, so I've created an initial limited run of 20 of a new 1,000 piece Clevedon Pier jigsaw. This one is a landscape version of an illustration that I've never printed as a poster before.

It's always a lovely surprise when a magazine drops through the door and some of my work is featured inside it!

The November 2020 edition of the Clevedon & Yatton Living magazine features a story -- on page 6 -- about the logo that I recreated to mark the 50th anniversary of the collapse of the beautiful Clevedon Pier in north Somerset, England,

The plaque was unveiled on the point where the pier actually collapsed by Julia Elton, the daughter of Sir Arthur Elton who founded the Clevedon Pier Preservation Trust.

I've illustrated Clevedon Pier in various ways over the last few years -- and turned them into Christmas cards, greetings cards, prints and even a jigsaw. Visit my Etsy for more info,
