PAINTINGS
I normally paint in Adobe Photoshop, it's quicker with a very high quality finish, no time wasted mixing paints and setting up.
Each painting is saved to CD direct from the programme so no quality is lost as no scanning is needed. Initially I work with sketches and can provide proofs for every piece before going to colour.
Any changes can be done very quickly.

JUGGERNAUT JOHN
and the Whoosh Wheels Gang.
Written by Willie Hamilton
Artwork and design by Garry Thorburn

My first book.
Not only did I illustrate the whole book, but I created the character branding, developing each character and turning it into a potential series of books,
animation and merchandise.
I also published the book myself and got it ready for the printers.
Juggernaut John "the gentle giant on the road" tells the story of a big red friendly truck and his friends at "Whoosh Wheels" truck company.
Book 1 is out now, music and merchandise is also available.

Take a look at his website, kids love him.

Maybe It's A Monster?

A ryhming story I wrote a few years ago about a young boy in his bedroom and all the nightime noises which makes his imagination run wild.

The Tooth Fairy

This illustration has had a lot of interest.
A favourite with many of my customers.

get picked and flicked...urghhh!
