Elephant White Book Signing @ Tales on Moon Lane. 14-02-12

I was asked to draw a little something on their graffiti wall of Illustrators, I think I was most nervous about doing this as there is a pretty incredible caliber of artists.

Change the Date!!!

In case you were feeling down that you couldn't make it to the Private view on Good Friday we have changed the dates of the show.
So we hope now you can put it in your diary and pop down for some drinks, nibbles, feast your eyes on some mouthwatering illustrations and your ears on some wonderful live music.

Shadow puppet animation Sunday

My Book reading & workshop at Queens Gate Junior School

I had a brilliant day with the kids at Queens Gate School. They all seemed to enjoy the book and LOVE Elephant White, even more than the book. What you can't see, as I am unable to put all the photos that show faces on the internet, is the moment where all 22 girls dive bombed Elephant White for a group photo. I could not see him at all. He was buried underneath all the girls very cosiest cuddles, they almost decapitated him with their love.

Story time.....

The kids made some great little patchwork Elephant White's of their own. I had a little chuckle to myself at how some of the stars had been stuck down...
