Goodbye beautiful (and messy) studio! I will miss

Goodbye beautiful (and messy) studio! I will miss you 💕.

I have been pulling out every excuse as to why I cannot possibly start packing my creative space, but today is the day. I’m trying not to think about how long it will be until I find another space and friends and community like I’ve had here in Torquay (and, for the record, I will continue bottling up those emotions for another day).

This has been my refuge for almost five years: I’ve written and illustrated over 500 pages of Sherlock Bones and seven-and-a-half Ollie and Bea books here, I’ve weathered months (and months) in this space with a homeschooling grade 5/6 child, and illustrated so many special picture books sitting in that chair.

I know it’s time to start looking forward to new adventures and friends and community, which I know will be wonderful and amazing too, but right now it’s so hard.

Anyway, starting small. One box at a time. Coming soon to WA.

I’m OTTER-ly thrilled to be a part of the @melbw

At 12pm I’ll be talking about creating pictures that tell stories.

Today was my first full day of my writing fellowsh

Today was my first full day of my writing fellowship at the KSP Writers’ Centre. I feel so lucky to be here!

I spent most of the day muddling my way through Photoshop for the iPad but think/hope tomorrow will be a little smoother. Does anyone else use this on their iPad? It’s missing a few tools that I normally use (hence the muddling), but seems to be working well.

I’ve seen so many red-tailed black cockatoos that I’ve lost count. Here’s a video of four chatty ones I found this morning.

Thinking about covers today for the seventh and ei

Thinking about covers today for the seventh and eighth books in The Super Adventures of Ollie and Bea.
These six are the American editions which look slightly different from the Australian versions.

It’s going to be really hard to select two new background colours!

I felt like I earned a badge today… and oddly enough, no one makes an “I was discharged from the breast cancer program today” badge. So here I am with my homemade badge. Feels a little silly, but I’ve been waiting 11 years to wear it.

Thanks to the Peter Mac and Mater Hospitals for all their amazing care.💕

As an aside note, I promise no more selfies.
