Coasters make very good canvases. They are tiny and spongey amd nobody wants them! They soak up colour good and are nice for small, fine pens.

This morning me, Jess and Helen went to a school fete and the school was on Benny Ave. They did not have the Bad Boys II ride, or trash n treasure but they did have a petting zoo. But also these mechanical ride-on animals. It used a ticket system instead of just money. It was maybe a strange fete.

Part three of what I'm working on! I'm slowly working on Mini Mel 2. The first half of the book is a big chase scene!

Other things I'm working on part two. Sons of Comtec is a collab with Patrick Alexander that will come out this year. It is an accurate look at the corporate world. Here is Mlervin, being a maverick.

I learnt today that Peko Peko, a Japanese learning book I drew for Lingopont, is proving very popular with the kiddoes. I'm working on book 2 now!
