Little boy: Thank you. It means when night comes I can hide as a star.

Capturing how depression can look and feel for kids requires a careful blend of text and imagery. 2 years later, I'm still in awe of how beautifully this book came together.

I started #colour_collective on Twitter in 2015. I've set 100s of different colours during the last decade and it's inspired 1000s of original artworks. Pretty cool! We're up to 67 colours at our new home on Instagram. Here are some of my favourite colour announcements doodles from the last year...
