Bubble Gum Trouble

bubblegum_cv

This is my new cover for Bubble Gum Trouble and other giggle poems written by Helen Ross, it's a fun children's poetry book now released. I finally learnt how to use my nice shiny wacom tablet, so all illustrations were created digitally in Adobe illustrator.

   

Meooow

'Dust' to Save The Children!

The following was written by the author Colin Thompson about the book I donated the vultures illustration for ...

In a perfect world this book would not exist, but we do not live in a perfect world. At any given moment of any given day, there are people dying from natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, epidemics and famine that we have no control over. Beyond natural disasters we add disasters of our own making, but even if we all learn to live in peace, there will still be millions of people who need help.

   

'Dust' shortlisted for Best Picture Book!

If you want to read in more detail about how I drew the vultures, take a look at my about page :-)

Update! Dust won Honour book. Hurray :-) Thanks to everyone taking a curious peek at my site. I am so pleased to see such interest in Dust. So far Colin tells me the book has raised $70000! $120 000! Wow! I understand for some this is a very sad book, however, it touches on a reality of life, and I felt it was rather gentle in introducing this stark subject to children. Please don't be shy, feel free to write some comments up here.

The Children's Book Council of Australia announced their 2007 shortlist awards for children's publishing recently. The book Dust has been shortlisted for Best Picture Book of the Year. This is the book I donated an illustration to, Vultures. Congratulations to Colin Thompson (author), the ABC (publisher), and the 12 fellow illustrators.

   

'Matilda Mudpuddle' makes the NSW Premiers Reading List

New Frontier Publishing wrote:
Matilda is extraordinary in everything she does but never more than when she eats the special food her grandfather brings her from his travels. The beans from Tibet allow her to fly through the air, the spinach from Spain gives immense strength and even invisibility is possible for Matilda. Matilda’s mother is an author and she records all Matty’s adventures in this exciting new series.
The Matilda Mudpuddle series has been selected for the NSW 2007 Premier’s Reading Challenge.
There are 5 books in the series, I designed and illustrated the covers, and illustrated the blackline art for the internals. Click here to view the book covers.
