• FROGS GALORE!
Given that I've illustrated dozens of frogs over the years you'd be forgiven for thinking that HFG was created exclusively for these fantastical amphibious artworks.
I've put frogs on postcards. Frogs on posters, illustrated sweet packets featuring frogs, written and illustrated books about frogs, designed children's games with frogs on the cover, frogs on the gameboard and even 3d frogs featured in the game.
Before I showcase the work of the last thirty years, here, as an introduction, are some of my froggy masterpieces.

QUEEN POSTER. 1979
This is the first illustration I ever sold. I started it during the summer months of 1979 whilst still in my final year at Liverpool.
I watched Wimbledon on TV as I painted and airbrushed this piece from photographs I'd taken myself when we saw Queen live at the Empire in Liverpool the year before.
I travelled to London to meet Peter Small and Mal Burns of Communication Vectors. (what a name) and they paid me in cash - £160 for this and for a Pink Floyd poster too.
I travelled back to Liverpool with a pocket full of tenners, the promise of a printed poster and a huge, satisfied grin.
They also commissioned 2 more posters/bands for Visions of Rock (Proteus Books) and my Police and Yes posters were the first book work that I had published.
