• I had a brilliant idea! After checking, it seems that others have had it too before me.

    As people can’t move on from calling X, Twitter, the solution is to roll the names together and call it TWIX!

    A typical old fashioned tweet about haberdashery supplies, art, education or thoughts like this can be called a TWIT

    The kind of horrible tweet that is currently infesting twitter/X, that is designed to ferment division amongst the population can then be called a TWIXT as in “Twixt and Between”.

    Does that solve the problem?

    Afterthought… maybe a TWEEN would work as well. Would a TWIXT or a TWEEN be the more divisive? Shades of anger and bitterness maybe?

  • The illustrating of First Kid in Space goes on a pace!

    In this illustration, Glenn is walking across the gangway to his space capsule.

    He takes a moment to look across the bay, taking in the scene of camper vans and people who have come to witness his historic launch.

    How on Earth has he come to be here?

    Is he dreaming?

  • I’m illustrating book two of Generation Moon at the moment.

    The latest illustration has Glenn, our hero, at the BBC Breakfast show, being interviewed as the potential “First Kid in Space”. It’s his last interview in a whirlwind, worldwide media tour.

    When asked an awkward question, Glenn is rescued by Brad, acting as his minder, and out of shot in this illustration.

    This is page 68 and 69 of 144. I’m getting there – day by day, illustration by illustration.
