Thumbnails, roughs and final art from What Would You Say To An Astronaut.
I don't share much these days but wanted to share some of this book as I am super proud of it. I really loved coming up with the colour schemes for space & the different planets. I hope you & your small people love it too.

Just got a sitting standing desk to help with neck pain, to stop me sittdown all day long (not good for you) and all that sort of stuff. Think it's going to take a little getting used to working standing up 🫤 but it's inly day 1, good so far (need to sort those cables out).

I recently started a new sketch book (I haven't had a physical sketch book in years!) and I've really enjoyed just sketching characters in biro, like I used to do. No deadline, no brief to work to, just drawing for me 😁
These are a few favourites.

Nearing the end of the year, so here is my annual link to some music I have enjoyed this year. Some tracks that have been new to me, some old, rediscoveries and a couple influenced by my daughter and gigs we've been to together (the dream! 🥰)
