Picture Book-making Course

Learn how to bring new worlds to life on the page as you create stories and characters that capture the imaginations and hearts of young readers. With me and the amazing Sarah McIntyre, courtesy of Curtis Brown Creative.


Bookshop

I've written or illustrated almost fifty books and you can buy them here. Each purchase benefits independent bookshops.

Activity Library & Art Shop

A Ko-fi shop selling art, prints and digital comics, and where you can download free activities for kids.


Social Media

Instagram is where you'll find all my book news and art (& other things like dogs, nature and travels), but I also use X for book news and TikTok/YouTube for drawing videos (launch autumn '24). My YouTube channel will be entirely kid-friendly.
