- always loved these images from Helen Carstairs 1930s book ‘Looking Round London’ - 20 images of the famous spots in the Capital - Marble Arch, Covent Garden, Hyde Park - using vibrant reds, blues and yellows, showing cars and fashion of the day.

is for a story by Zeb Soanes, 'Gaspard's Foxtrot' (2021) - where I cheekily popped in a self portrait of me with Toto & Diva! Such a lovely series to work on and Zeb is the BEST book-comrade!

Line, wash, pencil.

is from “Mrs Noah’s Garden” (text by Jackie Morris, 2021).

Planting seeds is an act of hope, I think. It thrills me to see them grow, flower or fruit. Illustrating a book can be a similar process!
