Free downloads… new stuff
The downloads page on my website is updated now. So, all the links should be working for you to get the colouring-in sheets and The Night Garden word jumble (there’s an answer sheet too).
And there’s a new thing…
I know how hard it is to draw a character over and over again in the same [...]

New Prints!
I have just selected three of my favourite artworks from The Night Garden to release as limited edition prints. Each has a series of 50 and are beautiful Giclee prints on Hahnemuhle Bamboo paper. Prints will be available from me directly (either from the studio or my markets), Books Illustrated in Middle Park or Customs House [...]

books for a good home
I’ve heard that it’s been really really REALLY hard to buy The Night Garden at times. Which is pretty frustrating given all of the attention it’s been getting with the shortlisting and the play touring around. The news is… there’s another reprint hitting our shores now and I’ve been assured that the problems are over. [...]

Monsters of one kind & another
Congratulations to the winners of the CBCA book of the year awards – the full list is here. The Night Garden didn’t get beyond its short listing but I was in pretty stellar company. I know a lot of schools were doing their own judging of the short list! How did you go, I wonder? [...]

The secret joy of festivals…
It’s monday now and I’ve had an enormous week. Yesterday was the Ivanhoe market – battling the cold in our art deco hall and being grateful to everyone who braved the weather, ignoring olympics and heating for a short while. It was our first birthday actually, with cake and champers to celebrate, and I set [...]

wordless wonder
I’m talking to a few classes and groups next week – adults for a change – looking particularly at story and storyboarding. And I found myself thinking a lot about one of my current projects, the wordless book.
It’s been very interesting to see how my approach to story has changed when I’m not [...]
