Heinemann English Text book

The joys of being "Sir" on a school bus trip, elegantly illustrated here for a Heinemann English text book. Looking at this picture reminds of Johnny Cash as that's what I was listening to when I drew it.

Heinemann English Textbook

This was an usual piece, as it illustrates a bit of text from a poem about a drunk piggy. It's for a language education book for Heinemann.

Heinemann Building Skills - Part 4

An eerie Jack the Ripper type scene.... Again, from the same Heinemann English educational book. I'd like to have this one in my lessons at school, what with Victoriana, Running vegetables, Go-Karting and Builders, sounds grand.

Heinemann Building Skills - Part 3

Another picture for Heinemann. This time it's of some vegetables getting chased by a fork. Oh what fun!

Heinemann Building Skills - Part 2

One thing that publishers seem to enjoy, to test the mettal of their illustrators, is to put as many things as possible into a brief. This image contains the following, plus probably lots of other things that I've forgotten -
Sign saying Karting
Sign saying £15
Sign saying that 8pm booking is delayed
A group of disappointed looking people
A dilapidated old building
A bored looking attendant in the ticket office
Sign saying that food isn't included in the ticket price
Bored looking chefs
Unpleasant cold food
Someone making a "ick" face whilst eating a burger
Disappointed children
Bored looking man on chair
Tables and chairs lying around with food on
Man careering round track in a go-kart
etc etc etc

*phew*

Heinemann Building skills - Part 1

This is from a project for Heinemann. I've done a number of books for them over the years. This is for a book on the English language for foreign students.
