In Sydney for a workshop with the Sydney Opera House's digital learning program! It's a resource that teachers can stream in their classrooms! I chatted about Thunderhead and creativity with Sally Coleman, it was a blast!

Looking through my Thunderhead roughs for a workshop I'm doing, found this illustration that got cut, and honked with laughter like a goose getting tickled.

Sometimes you see a little girl with the most incredible outfit of all times at Bunnings and you don't have a pencil and paper, so you need to hurriedly sketch her down with your finger in your phone's notes app.
