I’ve been busy working on my new little picture book – a collection of short poems that i’ve been scribbling and writing and re-writing overt the last couple of years (some actually date back over five years which is bonkers).
I’ve always wanted to do a little anthology ever since I read the Tim Burton book The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories .
AND I recently re-discovered an amazing book from my childhood when I was back at home called ’Theres an awful lot of weirdos in our neighbourhood.’ by Colin McNaughton. It’s described as ’A book of rather silly verse and pictures.’ which I really love. I remember loving it back then so maybe the idea has been floating around in my head for longer than I thought…
Anyways, below are some of my work-in-progress illustrations.
