The Flying Whale sells local artist David Elliot's magnificent flying whales - and other creatures - on cards, prints, bags, tee-shirts and more.

Very excited to share the cover for Once Upon a Harbour, an extraordinary landmark gift book of funny stories and amazing illustrations from internationally acclaimed illustrator David Elliot and celebrated author Fiona Farrell.

Come inside and meet a group of pirate rats, a monster called Craig who loves dressing up, Mr & Mrs Drizzle who make the rain, Piggy Bill and a clever little pig and some trees with rickety knees who have a party.

Once Upon a Harbour coming 15 September to all good bookstores - and of course, The Flying Whale!

'Ere be dragons...

23/05/2026

Medieval dragon is another character study that emerged recently. Who said cataloguing is boring…

The Jester and Innkeeper are two medieval character studies that ‘popped up’ recently. You never know what you might find when cataloguing David’s work…

Both original illustrations are available in The Flying Whale – come and have a look…
