It is a full page ad in Japanese magazine called Kinokuniya and was produced on behalf of Orchards special sales team. Thanks special sales team for using my cover illustration from picture book "Don't Dip your chips in your Drink Kate!"
all of this pegged up chaos and scruffy smudgey artwork has now been dismantled as i have left my lovely studio (sniff sniff) but now i get to work in my garden shed studio again (yey!) there are cats and squirrels and everything pottering about in the garden which is good (and slugs too sometimes unfortunately)
Everyone who went to the launch got to gobble up one of these yummy looking cakes. mmnn.... why didn't I go again? what a fool. one of those cakes had my name on it I am sure. here is Caryl Hart (the author of the book) reading the book. this HUGE poster with fabulous colour in cakes that the children at the launch made is now on display in the Sheffield Library.
You can see more photos of the party and other fun bits and bobs on Caryls blog
well, i am a childrens book writer and illustrator person.
i am only trying to get my act together and open myself an etsy shop innit.
