New packaging for the zines, made from baking parchment and a sewing machine. A enviro friendly alternative to plastic packaging, plus fun to make and gave me a great excuse to use my sewing machine!
My university's illustration course participated in the Comiket fair in London last weekend, and I was asked to contribute some of my books. Mireille Fauchon just posted some photos of the festival on her blog. You can see my Tesseracting book and half of my Moon zine on the UCA table. For more photos visit Mirelle's blog.

It's been a while since I've blogged. While this blog has been silent I've been studying to become a teacher, and now I'm teaching at a local language school! Although I haven't been able to draw anything in that time, I have been collecting inspiration. Here are three books I've bought recently.
- Islands by Brendan Monroe It's a beautifully printed graphic novel, where the main character travels through space. Definitely caught my attention!
- Cardigan heart by Lizzy Stewart I've been a big fan of Lizzy Stewart's work for years, but I've never actually bought anything of hers. When I went to Pick Me Up this week, I flicked through her new book 'Cardigan Heart' and loved it so much, bought it on the spot.
- Portraits of Grandpa by a collection of illustrators, I found out about the book through Hilda Grahnat 9 people talk and illustrate descriptions of their grandpa. It's such a lovely touching book and it makes my think of my grandpa.
