    After last week’s Scaredy Cats story video – The Killer Catflap – I thought I’d draw an evil cockroach this week. see the video here

    It’s different to the way I drew the roaches in the book and video, mainly because I’ve been a bit more attentive to the true shape and design of a cockroach. Not too attentive though! This is really about characterisation – turning an animal or inanimate object into a humanised character


  • I’ve been turned into a story character!

    How can this be you ask?

    I’m asking the same thing!

    I had a text last night from Adam Frith who is a Creative writer from Manchester, starting a degree in animation in September 2017.

    Adam has been writing something major and epic, that I can’t tell you about, but apparently I’ve inspired a character – The King’s Master of Art – apparently a minor character but a catalyst in the major part of the plot!

    Sounds fascinating. I can’t wait to see how this progresses and what my alter ego gets up to!

    I shall keep you informed. Meanwhile why not follow Adam on Twitter to keep up to date with what it’s all about?
