Hey diddle diddle- I’ve drawn a lot of cats playing instruments over the years. Here’s one that moves. Just for fun - not part of any book - probably. ( No AI ofcourse but it is so rough I doubt anyone would think it was.) #animation #art #art.sky #cat #dog #bigcity

‘The Taming of the Cat’ just came out in paperback. It has 20 chapters and copious illustrations - so not my usual fare, but children and reviews have liked it. It’s a fairytale with cats,mice and a lot of cheese.

The Taming of the Cat is published today in paperback. If you like your fairytales highly illustrated with cats and cheese and adventure you might like this.

The Taming of the Cat is out in Paperback tomorrow. It’s my latest middle grade book and heavily illustrated in black and white. A fairytale told by a mouse to a cat in a cheeseshop - and has lots of all three. #booksky #book.sky
