Doodles, drawings and discoveries gathered along my own way through children's book making.
1. Tiz and Ott are out there at last - for real!

Been a bit busy with various things, not least a deadline for four little books!

Right now I feel a bit like this early sketch for Tiz  & Ott's Big Draw - a couple of years ago - can it be?



And also a bit like the boy who cried 'Wolf'
But it takes time to publish a book - and to get it into the shops.

When I first thought of the little high energy scribbler called Tiz and the low energy dabbler called Ott, there were doodle books around.  A couple I had done myself for Bayard and the Tate .  But at that time were no stories about doodlers and scribblers and daubers like me -  and their daily struggles and leaps into other worlds in their heads.
Now there is a spate of wonderful books with stories about characters that create in different ways. Spirit of the times!

Anyway Tiz and Ott's Big Draw is now out with Tate publishing in UK bookshops and museum shops.  It will land on US bookstores in November 2015.

If by happy chance you are in London on June 4 please come and raise a glass to Tiz and Ott at my launch at Tales on Moon Lane.   You will find the details (plus!) in this drawn-to-music one minute video.  Big thanks to Ella Finch who filmed and timed my scribbles to music perfectly!
