1. Conference countdown...

Well it's T-minus 1 week to the SCBWI conference in Sydney. This time next week I'll be settling into my hotel room ready for the conference to start. This conference takes place every two years and is the only major SCBWI conference in Australia. I have never been before so am very excited to attend!
I'm slowly but surely getting all my goodies ready...
I picked up my updated business cards and new promo postcards recently:
Promo postcard and updated business cards (2-sided) for the conference

I'm very happy with how they turned out. I think they are all tying in nicely together, along with my newly redesigned website too. The giraffe is a bit of a mascot for me (as you may have noticed!) and he has always been on my business card. It just so happens that my latest book features a giraffe as well, so she has made in onto my postcard this time.
So this is the baby and toddler... next is... the Mother..... The Portfolio!
How much can one obsess over an inanimate object? A fair bit it turns out.
I decided to squeeze in a new portfolio piece. Since most of my work is sweet, cute and happy, I wanted to do something a bit more moody with some darker emotions. Here is the sketch:
new portfolio piece!

I have just finished it and did another time-lapse of me painting it (woo!) so if I get a chance to edit it together before I go I will post it soon.
Either way I'll be doing another post about this piece and my conference portfolio soon so stay tuned....
