My attempt for National Doodle Day this year, supporting Epilepsy Action. A great annual event raising money for a worthy cause. Mine glows in the dark... Oooooh!

Swapping the stylus for a pen, to try and get these book ideas off the ground once and for all. Even dug out a lovely notebook a student gave me when I was a teacher (about 6 years ago!) Hoping it's not as hard as when I first tried!!! #illustration #writing #picturebook

OK.... It's time... Anyone know of any good writing courses for picturebooks? I have vague ideas but this stuff is HARD! Help needed... Ideally live online courses please...

Some early morning amends on the board today for a picture book.
Been illustrating for years now, but is it just me?... 'Amends' feels like I've been a bit rubbish and got to improve, like an illustration detention! Haha!

I'm taking part in Epilepsy Action's 60 miles in November fundraising runs. Although I'm nearly half way there. If you are able to donate it'd be much, much appreciated. justgiving.com/fundraising/Ry… (also raising money for a hair cut it seems)
