• 16-different-moustache-designsIt’s Father’s Day this weekend in the UK as well as in the US – I don’t know why Mother’s days are different.

    As a bit of fun, I thought I would show you how to draw several different moustaches, 16 in fact. You could draw them all or choose one and adapt the drawing to make a card for your dad!

  • Longsight Stanley Grove Big Book BashI visited Stanley Grove Academy last year and had the pleasure of opening their new library as well as spending a couple of days telling stories, talking about writing and showing how to draw things.

    They have asked me back! This time to open their Big Book Bash – a whole afternoon of book related fun and wonder! I gather there will be a Ricky Rocket rocket in the opening parade through Longsight, which is east of Manchester, that starts at 2.00pm – I can’t wait to see that

    Each year has chosen a different book to work on so there will be displays and activities based on those.

    In the evening I’ll be reading a bed time story before the whole event finishes at 8.00pm. No doubt I’ll have some film and pictures of the day to show you afterwards.

    If you live in the area and love books – I’ll look forward to seeing you there!
