1. New books, and other news...

Just a final blog update before Christmas! A couple of months ago I received copies of two books that I illustrated quite recently, and I haven't had a moment to blog about them til now. 'This is Me' (published by HarperCollins Big Cat) is an instructional book about making a self-portrait from buttons, paint, wool and other fun things. I had just two weeks to complete the final artwork for this book...it was quite an intense two weeks but I managed it!


























I really enjoy drawing hands, so loved the task of drawing the little girl's hands as she completed different stages of her project.



This is from one of my favourite pages... the girl's reflection as she looks at herself in a hand-mirror.

























Here's one of my roughs from the early stages of planning the book...



'Jo and Jess' (published by Hinkler) is an early-reader book that tries to encourage kids not to be afraid of the dentist.
