I’m working on final art for a book due soon, but I had to squeeze in some time to draw some All Creatures Great and Small art. It’s a show that’s rocketed into my top five series of all time, ever. It’s kind and quiet, witty and thoughtful. All the Fair Isle knits you could ever hope to see and the Yorkshire Dales — really what more can you ask for in a television show?

Also Nicholas Ralph (a.k.a, James Herriot) reminded me overwhelmingly of my maternal grandfather as a young man, both in looks and mannerisms. And that was an added bonus that brought a smile with each new episode.
