It's the start of Halloweek! I though't I'd share the main character Cosmo from a book I've been working on. He's kind of based on my own special black cat called Lex who once lived on the streets but now loves his cuddle-time

Just thought I’d share an illustration from a story idea I’m currently working on; Hamish MacAw and the sea dogs. International Dog Day was Founded in 2004 by Colleen Paige, to raise awareness about the large number of dogs that need to be rescued every year.
