Listen Up!

March 18th, 2016

Preparing for an Easter getaway? Look out for the poetry points at Heathrow Airport!

There are four pillars in terminals 2-5 each with specially written travel poems recited by their authors Michael Rosen, Danny Wallace, Laura Dockrill and MG Leonard.

As you might have guessed I did the illustrations which feature cameos of some of the characters from my books– Emily Brown, Stanley Stick amongst others! And could I ask a favour? If anyone does happen to come across them please could you take a photo? I’d love to see what they look like.

Their locations are; T2 near World Duty Free, T3 near Rhubarb, T4 near Gate 19, T5 near Fortnum & Mason Champagne bar.

More info about them here and here.

Big Draw at Discover Centre

February 15th, 2016

Arrived in the post today from my agent- printed publicity for Discover’s Big Write Children’s Literature Festival including this A1 poster!

This year Michael Rosen has curated events so I drew the characters from his Rover books in various activities. As you can see there’s LOTS going on in the festival this year including appearances by Chris Riddell, Sam Lloyd, David Baddiel and of course Michael Rosen himself…

If you want to get involved check out their website for tickets here…

And if you do go be sure to check out the ‘Bear Hunt, Chocolate Cake and Bad Things’ exhibition while you’re there- it’s amazing!
