Do you like to play dress-ups? Jonathan does. And he’s been up to his scary stuff on Play School this week. Here’s a short snippet I managed to capture on my iPhone while watching the telly yesterday: https://youtu.be/xdM8VJffusc The full episode is available on ABC Kids iTunes until 9:30am on 13th Jul 2019. Episode Up, Up And Away: 4 (starts 7.22 minutes in): https://iview.abc.net.au/show/play-school/series/0/video/CH1612H019S00 This is the first time (that I know of) I’ve had one of my children’s books read on Play School (although this aired years ago, I only recently found out). Jonathan was also the first picture book I ever illustrated, written by author/illustrator Peter Carnavas. . . . . . . . #illustration #childrensillustration #childrensillustrator #childrensbookillustrator #kidlit #kidlitart #playschool #storytime #Jonathan! #petercarnavas #picturebooks #childrensbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/ByroehhgsQa/?igshid=2mc53najkosb

Have 3 books I’m reading at once and only one bookmark while holidaying up the Sunny Coast, so I decided to do some bookmark sized rough sketches of the natural surroundings. Testing out my travel watercolour set and pencils. Now I have too many bookmarks. #sketching #bookmarks #illustrator #drawings #sketches #pencildrawing #watercolor #sunshinecoast https://www.instagram.com/p/BsXNFHeFdFx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ni4hxw1g22ir
