Lots of lovely comments about the website, thank you! Its a bit of a scary thing putting all the work (which I'm generally not very good at showing to people) out into the big wide world.

Today I submitted my entry for a competition run by the House of Illustration! 3 full page illustrations and a cover design for Angela Carter 'The Bloody Chamber'.  Its been a challenging one, and very different from the sweet children's stories I had been working with. Bit of a relief to click 'send' and be able to not think about it for a little while.

Less interestingly, I completed my tax return today - ugh. 

Here is one of my earlier attempts at book writing and illustration, a novella created for my Dad in 1995! It runs to 28 pages of written text. It turns out my stories were all mainly concerned with kidnap and food.
