Lots of things I’d do differently if I painted this again - less sea, lighter blue, stronger skintone but hey, we learn by doing, right? It didn’t help that the paint dried IMMEDIATELY because my flat is currently a sauna. Feel free to pop in and have a go, just bring your own towel 🙄 (at Shepherd's Bush West London)

Who doesn’t love a good floor mosaic! Couldn’t resist stopping yesterday, when I saw this one in the entrance of a menswear shop in Blackheath. I think I blocked the entrance whilst I took the pic - oops! (at Blackheath, London)

Will be in my happy place today, starting final art for a chapter book! Bucket of tea ✔️ Radio4 (my attempt to educate myself) ✔️ Dangerously sharp pencils ✔️ Phone on silent (don’t call me) ✔️ Ready. Get. Set. GO!

Blimey, woken up this morning and it’s almost bobble hat weather! The affects of global warming are pretty scary 🙈 (at London, United Kingdom)

Did you know, there are only 151 days left until Christmas! Meaning you don’t have long to buy the fabulous new Kes Gray book I have illustrated called ‘The Night Before, The Night Before Christmas’ published by @hodderbooks. I’d buy it today if I were you 😜🎄 (at London, United Kingdom)

Right, that’s it! I’ve had enough. I’M TOO HOT. I want to be a fish wearing pants in the ocean where it’s nice and cool. Ok? Who’s with me? (at London, United Kingdom)

Guys! I took the BEST workshop on Saturday with @colourtutor and now I’m OBSESSED with colour palettes to the point of delirium. ~ I was never taught colour theory in school and it’s always been somewhat of a mystery to me. Not any more! Julie’s workshop teaches you how to mix every colour from just 3 primaries - mind blowing! ~ If you want to learn more about colour go check her out. The day is jam packed with stuff, is in a beautiful location and you may even get a homemade scone 😜

Lots of work on this week so not much time for play but I woke up feeling inspired after a John Vernon Lord and Chris Riddell talk I saw last night so, here’s a quick doodle I did with my morning cuppa! Have a good day guys 🙌🏻 (at London, United Kingdom)

Getting ready for my first Octopants event this morning! Now, which pants shall I wear? 🐙 (at London, United Kingdom)

Started drawing this trio on the plane but was forced to abandon them when I dropped my BLACK brush pen on my WHITE jeans 🙄 Thought I’d finish them now, within easy access of a sink incase I drop more ink on myself #clumsy (at Acton)

I am officially on holiday so this is me for the next 5 days... minus the moustache 🙌🏻

Evening doodle. Farmer boy with his toy horse in a cornfield. Obviously.

Working out some colour combos with my new #tombow pens... pink seems to feature quite heavily!
