I like to draw on little things, like pebbles, and really quite big things, like walls and fibreglass creatures. And stuff in between, too!

I really can't express exactly how overwhelmingly happy I am at @cjoplingillo.bsky.social's illustrations for my writing for @camraofficial.bsky.social's Learn & Discover platform.
They just completely gel with the tone I use and really make my writing pop.

Just got my DACS royalty payment through and I thank God for this organisation 🙏. If you're an artist who's had stuff published in books/magazines/TV/film and you haven't claimed DACS Payback Scheme before, do it for next year! It's free money, and you're owed it

Here I am, proudly under my letter G, with fellow students Sarah and Finn. Not bad for a first attempt, eh? 😄
