Board Game Characters
I recently illustrated board game characters for a man named David Hopkins in California for his new board game Fate of the Dragon. We went for a Dungeons and Dragons/ Lord of the Rings kind of look. What a trip!

Cushendall Map
Illustrated map designed for tourists in Cushendall. You see a lot of generic maps throughout the country but i've always been influenced by Tolkien's maps in his Hobbit/Lord of the Rings/Silmarillion series and i've been interested in the old fashioned discovery maps of the Americas back in the 1400's -1500's. I like to think that this is where my maps differ. My maps are all illustrated by hand.

Sheila's of Portstewart Finn McCool Sign.
John, owner of Sheila's sweetshop in Portstewart wanted a kind of life size sign of Finn McCool for the side of his shop as a novelty for tourists and children (both young and old) to take pictures with. John was already familiar with my Finn McCool illustrations having regularly purchased my Giant's Causeway/Finn McCool themed postcards and keyrings. John and i worked on the project via phone and email, with John giving me an outline of exactly what he wanted to see illustrated. The result was a very detailed very colourful artwork which was then printed on Dibond by Sign-it in Coleraine.

Bushmills Town Panels
A major work of achievement, the Bushmills map which will be included in the brochures and outdoor panels is a fine example of the range of work that Battersby creates. A combination of geography and map work combined with accurate illustration brings to life a Bushmills tourism experience unique to the area. Highly detailed and beautifully colored, the map boasts a plentiful array of known landmarks illustrated and colored in James' own style. Currently a work in progress.

Mr Bigmoney
Mr Bigmoney had it all: a beautiful mansion, fast cars, and a thriving business where his every desire was met. One thing he didn't have however was a heart: As his logging business destroys the lives of both animals and people, Mr Bigmoney is unconcerned about the sadness he causes to those who live in the forest. When Mr Bigmoney goes to sleep one night, his whole world changes as he wakes up to find he is a little bird...trapped in the same forest he has carelessly destroyed.
While Mr Bigmoney is a fictional story and aimed at children who have empathy towards living things, it has a nice coating of satire aimed at the corporate world in general.

SPACE PEPPERS
Space Peppers tells the story of a young Mexican boy who meets some burrito loving aliens while out tending his father's jalapeno peppers. The aliens ask the little boy if he'd kindly visit their home planet to teach them how to look after their own dying crop. A heartwarming and quirky tale for the younger reader
