ReejecttIIon - a number two – my new collaborative book with Daniel Clausen is now available. Woo-hoo! What’s more, it’s free on Kindle for five days: 9th March – 13th March (links below). So rather than poo yourself with excitement, why not grab a copy of A Number Two* instead? (*Toilet tissue not included.)

Here’s the blurb:


By reading ReejecttIIon, it’s likely you’ll discover: colorful short stories, funny flash fiction, hilarious cartoons, riveting reviews, wondrous anagrams and other assorted skits and titbits of under-achieving literary genius.

If you’re lucky, you might come across sci-fi tales about the privatization of words, horror stories about hair and ruminations on indie writing. It’s also possible that you’ll find commentary on the hazards of greedy literary agents and stories about washed up movie directors who receive financial backing from space aliens.

Publisher’s Meekly calls it: “a thought-provoking fable about technological hubris and the hazards of bioengineering.” (*This may or may not be referring to Jurassic Park and not ReejecttIIon.)

Reader’s Indigestion says: “this book quietly stands as one of the most powerful statements of the Civil Rights movement.” (*This may or may not actually refer to To Kill a Mockingbird and not ReejecttIIon.)

But why not read this seriously comical scattergun book and see what you can discover about ReejecttIIon for yourself?

Forget the bull, it’s time for a plug…

Do you need affordable cartoon illustrations? If so, check out my portfolio and my rates here

Do you not need illustrations? Well, why not check out my portfolio anyway?

In this day and age of digital art, my endearing hand-drawn illustrations can really stand out, so if my style of drawing is for you, please get in touch!

I recently completed the illustrations for the children’s book: Heckrington Peck and Friends by Graham Knight, from which the above two illustrations are from. It was was great fun to do, and it made me realise that I enjoy illustrating books more than any other type of illustration work (particularly children’s books, as I feel my style of drawing suits that genre, and my own illustration-heroes are the likes of Quentin Blake, Albert Uderzo and Tony Ross).



Whilst I enjoy drawing for any project, I think I like illustrating kids’ books the most because:

a) I love bringing to life someone’s character. And when I write my own kids’ books, I always feel that they’re incomplete until I have brought the characters into the physical visual world.

b) I’m just a big kid myself.


I’ve worked as a part-time freelance illustrator, on and off, for over twenty years, and have provided drawings for catalogues, greeting cards, poetry books, company logos and more. For several years, I also ran cartoon workshops at various arts centres and libraries throughout the UK, including two popular events for The Big Draw Festival - the world’s biggest celebration of drawing.

I’m currently looking to secure more permanent work, so if you have a kids’ book that needs illustrating, or any other book or project, please consider hiring me!



If you were previously unaware that I also write children’s books under the name of Mr. Wolf, you won’t know that you can read my book The Top Secret Cheese for FREE on my website:

My kids’ books are very humorous, and plenty of adult readers enjoy them, so if you’re a big kid, maybe you’ll give them a go.



Oh, and one last thing: Mr. Wolf’s long-awaited new book Mr. Zumpo’s Amazing Zoo of Unusual Animals will be out later this year!



Thanks for your interest!

Harry

A.K.A. Mr. Wolf.
