drawing lessons and holiday workshops!

tattoo a banana

I had to try this, tattoo a banana with a pin & the image turns darker throughout the day.

So much fun- great little project to do with children, or anyone!

I read about it in Tattoo a Banana: And Other Ways to Turn Anything and Everything Into Art by Phil Hansen

Happy New Year!

I haven't posted anything here for ages! I can't believe it's now 2013...

One reason I haven't been blogging recently (I didn't realise it had been quite so long!) is because I have been illustrating lots and moving house - with several books out last year such as Princess Betony and The Unicorn, Ruby Learns to Swim, The Greatest Mothers Day of All and books that I have recently finished & due for release this year include Princess Betony and the Thunder Egg and Easter Bunny's Helpers. 

I also illustrated the ABC 2013 Sing! music book for schools and the third Matty Forever book cover, Matty and Bill for Keeps. 

I have been posting on my new website on the news page and trying to get that up and running, I am still updating it and haven't finished putting all my books up yet, but its getting there. You can see it here. 

For now here is an illustration for some wrapping paper I recently did for Simson cards.
