Surely pencils are magical? According to Oati, this is how to use a pencil. Seems we’ve had it wrong all these years... (also: this is the first time I’ve used my very own font in a WIP) ✏️

As an example of how much an image can change as a story develops, here are my little birdies from last week.

Spent the day storyboarding this little flock of characters. Most of them are well behaved, but one is a little wayward (my favourite kind).

A4. A coatimundi. So curious and stripy (two of my favourite things). #picbookbc

A pile of unicorns on a curly-puff. Freshening up my portfolio in readiness for the @SCBWICanadaEast Conference in Montreal...

My pup's personality comes through in a lot of my characters. He also gives great cuddles (especially when I'm holding food...)

Painting little winged ones in the snow. Canada seems to be creeping into my books. [a snippet from a larger spread]

#DailyDoodle: Rainbow hamsters! Playing with some new photoshop brushes. Not easy, but slowly figuring them out...

Happy news: this little guy has found a home with my wonderful Aussie publisher, @UQPbooks (to be released Aug 2016).
