Sorry about the rather long gap between blogs! I’ve been super busy, so lots of book news and cover reveals coming up soon. But first, a few piccies from the half term Mini Picture Book and Character making workshops I lead at the V&A Museum in London.

The workshops were held in celebration of the V&As Winnie the Pooh exhibition (which is marvelous by the way!). Here’s a link to the V&A blog where they talk about the various events and have more pictures of me in action.

Look at that fluorescent green glow!

A fortune telling Eel, a Neanderthal, singing Sirens, a dandruff-shedding Troll and a giant origami sea-serpent with metre long fangs: All in a day’s work for Class Six! (Oh and not forgetting Mr Ogersby, of course!)

Here’s a little bit about how I illustrated Dougal Daley over on Bibliobeth as part of the Dougal Daley blog tour.

Dougal is doing the rounds over the next couple of weeks - here are his tour dates:

Last week, one of the black and white fiction titles I’ve been having fun illustrating was launched upon the World.  ‘Dougal Daley - It’s Not My Fault’, hit the bookshelves alongside a super cute picture book with indy publisher Wacky Bee books. Here I am with Dougal author, Jackie Marchant,  celebrating with a glass of wine.

Jackie has also very cleverly made a book trailer for Dougal which features some of my illustrations too. (below)

Dougal goes on a blog tour this week and I’ll be talking about how I illustrated the book over at Bibliobeth on Thursday 4th, so I’ll add a link to it here along with the transcript and some more sneak peeks of the pictures.
