Support diverse illustrators!

For the past two years I have been a mentee on the ‘Pathways into Children’s Publishing’ course.

It has been an amazing experience, and we are now trying to raise funds to show our final work at London Book Fair next month.

What Google AI thinks penguins wear…

Trying her best to pretend she didn’t just spend an hour attempting to nom the Christmas tree…

Google AI overview makes me laugh.

How they thought it was a good idea to allow AI to sum up search results without teaching it what a fact is, still boggles my mind.

She’s already plotting…

Not convinced my new cat cam is going to survive here… (it’s been moved so it can see around the Christmas tree)

Anyone else overwhelmed at how many different social media platforms there are now? 😅

I’m mostly on Instagram, but have a photo of Rory :)

So excited - I am bringing a new kitten home on Friday!

She is a Ragdoll (blue mitted) and I’m calling her Rory (like the character in Gilmore Girls).

Obviously no cat could replace Phoebe, but I’m looking forward to having feline company again!
