Showtime for Billie and Coco!

Today is the publication of my new book, Showtime for Billie and Coco! It's published by Macmillan Children's Books, edited by the super Emily Ford and designed by the super Emma Farrarons. 

Thank you both so much! 

Packed full of fox clowns, pigs in tutus and break dancing cats! Here are some details from the inside...

Wake up guys, it's publication day!

What does it make what does it make?!

And will Albert ever find Tamara? Will the cool cats get untangled? What does a crocodile look like in a feather boa?

For answers to these and many other questions... Showtime for Billie and Coco!

What I'm wearing

It's so sunny and I'm feeling happy with my skirt, so here's a picture for Gemma Correll's What I Wore Today. Everything accurate, apart from the me being a fox bit.

We've got chemistry

Bug Zapper

Poor Frankenbug's monster, the horror!

Screen Printing

This week I've been doing a screen printing summer course, which I've been really loving. I haven't done any since university, and at that stage I much preferred etching. No longer - now I'm screen not scrim! We've learned so much in the past four days. Because I naturally draw so small it's brilliant to be able to do things BIGGER... It's giving me a lot of ideas. Plus it's very nostalgic to be back, for this very short while, at art school.

Oh, printing room, I'm so happy to see you!

Put a pig on a screen why not!

Piggys on the drying rack! A3 Bigpigs!

Look at your stripey pants! Just you wait until tomorrow...

Bug fun

Tempting ice cream eating

I've been watching Arrested Development - seeing Liza Minelli reminded me again of this piggy. She was going to have a sexy napkin in one hand, but that seemed weird.

Bits and bobs

More bits and bobs! And I will update this blog properly soon, I miss it but haven't had much chance for any personal work recently. But I'm doing a screen printing course soon which I'm really looking forward to - no doubt there will be lots of cats, but bigger - I'll post them if they aren't too mutant.
