Packing for the markets and look what I found tucked in bubble wrap at the bottom of my storage box?!?

Kim and I collaborated on these one-of-kind ceramic brooches about 10 years ago. Apparently there are still 3 available…

I wonder what I’ll find in the bottom of the other boxes (hopefully more beautiful goodies and not big spiders 🕷️😬).

I spy with my little eye, four new wombat prints!

How much fun did I have presenting with Janet McCleod last week as part of State Library Victoria’s Gandel Program for Children? So much fun!!

Janet was such a funny and heart-warming MC and the staff and space at SLV are truly amazing. What a wonderful experience to work with schools and families about graphic novels and comics. Thank you!!!

Ever had an inkling to write a graphic novel or learn more about this story-telling format?

Join me on Saturday 19 November at Waurn Ponds Library where I’ll be chatting about creating graphic novels.

My session is open to high schoolers (13+) and adults.

This is a ticked event and part of the Local Word Festival. Seats are limited and tickets are available through Geelong Libraries.

Just finished folding all of the Christmas cards… thank goodness for young family and friends who need a little extra pocket money.

The koala is part of a 5-card pack which I’ll have at The Big Design Market Melbourne (2-4 Melbourne), Studio Pop-Up Sale Torquay (9-11 December), online and my lovely stockists.

Printed in Melbourne by PrintTogether on recycled paper with soy-based inks, blank on the inside and come with kraft envelopes.

Thanks for supporting this small business.

Scratching scratching scratching… this medium is one of the reasons why my studio is perpetually dusty (it might also be due to the fact that I don’t dust).

Getting heaps of new artwork ready for The Big Design Market which happens in about 3 weeks. Arg… my stress level just went up about 20 notches. Back to scratching.

One of my first comics, written and illustrated when I was in grade 3. I won’t say what year it was, but the purple square printed by a ditto machine says a lot…

This one actually makes sense 😂.
