Here is the monster wall design I'm going to paint (attempt) these holidays! The rectangle shape is where the door is.

Last Thursday I had the pleasure of launching my new children's picture book A Simply Spectacular hat, written by the fantabulous Libby Gleeson. Thankyou to Vanessa C, Belinda Scott and Trevor Veale (Coffs Coast Advocate), our hosts at Three Bear Cottage - Coffs Harbour NSW, and Darren, for the pitch perfect reading! Also big MWAH to one of my besties Jodie for moral support, lunch buddy, and fellow op shop trawler! What a joy to illustrate, loved every moment of it. The Cancer Council of Australia were responsible for the commission of this book, and in the new year we will be working on SunSmart merchandise using the books artwork.

This weeks instalment of A Shot of Black, heartache's a b#^*h.

Next instalment of A Shot of Black. I've won a year subscription to the comic website Sherpa http://www.gocomics.com/explore/sherpa so I will be developing this comic strip further over the course of a year. Really looking forward to it. Next step in the new year - animation, hurrah!

Have to give credit to Nick for the clever caption!

Here is A Shot of Black for this week. Enjoy! I'm recovering from a huge weekend away with The Australian Cartoonists' Association. Had a highly entertaining time and can't wait for next year!
