• I went to Amsterdam last week and did a lot of drawing in my sketchbook. There’s not a lot about Amsterdam in the book but there is a lot about the people and their bicycles as well as inspiration from the art galleries and museums.

    Have a look inside and see what interests me when I visit another country! You’ll also see me drawing in a bar having supper in the evening!


  • Did you know that I have story videos on YouTube

    Have a look at this creepy retelling of the old Bluebeard story from my Scaredy Cats series

    Now you’ve seen it why not buy a signed copy from Shoo?


  • I did a lot of sketching during my recent trip to Amsterdam. I had a wonderful time. Talking with my friends in the evening, as we discussed what we’d seen that day, I was drawing away happily when I realised that everyone was watching, but they were involved in the drawing and the conversation continued even though I was, I suppose, not 100% concentrating on the conversation. But no one felt I was excluding myself or that they were excluded. We agreed it was a good thing to do for everyone.

    So, let go of your inhibitions and draw, your friends will want to be involved helping you remember things and probably wanting to be drawn themselves!
