I found an unfinished moose head trophy in a box and have added it to a low shelf in the hall. It makes a nice change from the paperbacks languishing there.

I really can't work with you hovering like that…
Working at my temporary desk in Australia, overlooking the water. Watercolour dries very quickly when it's 37 degrees celsius. Photographs made by Jemma Tonges.
Treasure Island ahoy…
Copies of Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson arrived today. I'm very pleased to have added some illustrations throughout this great text, one I've loved since I read it when I was ten.
Sydney workshop in the bag...
Next week...
Didn't know you could draw? You'd be surprised. Come by the Childrens Bookshop in Beecroft, Sydney, for a workshop on drawing and storytelling with pictures. It's for 8-10 year olds who like drawing or didn't know they had it in them. Or just come along to say hi if you like. Contact the bookshop to book a place
tel: 02 9481 8811
Dropping by to say hi is informal.
Scenes from a shopping arcade...
When you least expect it...
Some nice lettering comes into view.
I think it's a cat...
Christmas cracker from last year. The hats were perfectly good.
That's ok, you can have it.
Wee Write Festival Glasgow
I'll be taking part in the Wee Write Festival 2016, in Glasgow. My talk is about my books and visual literacy and there'll be plenty of pictures to look at. Hope to see you there.
Therefore wee are.
Junky Comics launched MuMu in style...
On Thursday Vlada launched What's Up MuMu? at her brilliant comics shop in West End. It was standing room only for the reading with musical backing scored and performed by D. Franklin Crane. It was good seeing Chris and Jackie McKummie there. I want to thank Vlada and all her volunteers profusely for setting the place up for the party and making it a success. All this whilst being on crutches.
