Annecy 50!

To help celebrate Annecy Animation Festivals 50th Anniversary I was asked to do an illustration.
Naturally I couldn't resist the BUNNIES!
A special book was made with all the illustrations that selected animation directors had done.... ooh lovely!

I couldn't make it over to the festival this year... but I bet it was even more fabulously fun and inspiring than usual for this special year.

BORIS

If you have a cup of tea to slurp and need something to read,
do have a look at article on the wonderful
Teach Often, Teach Well blog.
The artical is about BORIS (aka Colin in America) and guest author (aka me).

Sheffield Chlidren's Book Awards 2010

Great news for book "Don't Dip your chips in Drink Kate!"
(Written by Caryl Hart and illustrated by me)
It has been shortlisted for the Sheffield Chlidren's book awards 2010!

It has some stiff competition... "The Great Dog Bottom Swap" being a particular favourite of mine!

Shame though that they didn't spell my name right, or get the title of the book right on the website!
