Secrets Of Carrick

Earlier in the year 

I illustrated the covers for 

Ananda Braxton-Smith's young adult fiction series, 

'Secrets Of Carrick'.

And although the books 

don't come out until May, 

the covers have just been released!

A Family Of Geniuses

Books from The Royal Tenenbaums made real.

Sad Face

Illustrations by Ati Forberg 

for children's book Cindy's Sad And Happy Tree

A Scary House & A Beautiful Girl

I love these romantic-gothic fiction covers

from the 60's and 70's,

(even though they all have pretty much identical compositions)

Found via My Love Haunted Heart

Made by hand

I received a little present in the post this week,

a copy of Hand Made Illustration

edited by Eva Minguet,

AND

I'm inside!

As well as 16 other pretty amazing illustrators,

including Brandi Milne (cover image), Eszra Roise (third image), Erika Yamashiro (fourth image), Kelly Thompson, Sabine Pieper,

Denise Van Leeuwen.

AND

My Harlequin illustration is even on the back cover,

nice.

And just to toot my own horn a little longer, I did an interview with The Clothes Maiden which you can read here.

Whisper

About a year ago I did the illustration

for a new young adult fiction novel

and it has finally been released!

It was beautifully written by

Chrissie Keighry

and you can buy it here.

fit enough?

The Fit To Print exhibition opens tomorrow night

at No Vacancy gallery at the QV in Melbourne

Speaking of the lady above,

she's also tucked away quite nicely in

the latest Semi-Permanent annual.

She gets around this one.

Tell me a story

Books I can't read.

Japanese books

I found these books on etsy.

Now, if only I could read them...

a wolf, bunny, bear, fox, frog and a mouse

I rediscovered this pop-up book when I was packing away my shelves for the move.

I have no idea what it says. And call me crazy, but I don't think it is a great idea for the bunny and the mouse to be hanging out in the same house as the wolf and the bear...
