Happy book birthday to me!
My debut picture book, the Abominable Snow Dancer, is about a yeti who secretly dreams of dancing, but has only ever seen unicorns dance before. It's an autobiography - sharing a little video about why 😊

Drawing a crowded comic con for a gig and I can't use any copyright characters and it's been a blast making up new iconic heroes like Gumball Machine Robot and Caveman Sherlock Holmes.
