• This is one of two books that were the very first that I was commissioned to write – originally for Blackie Books and Puffin paperback.

    Victoria may be a very old bus but she has always managed the journey to market every Wednesday. Then one day, as she is climbing the last hill into town, the most terrible thing happens… A delightful story for children set in the countryside with a beautiful of bus and bunch of characters on their way to the Wednesday market.

  • Watch as I illustrate a romantic illustrated mug for Valentine’s Day.

    Last week I drew a lion and thought I’d maybe make a poster of it, then Spring, who are the merch store I use, suggested I make a mug from it too. I thought it looked great wrapped around the mug, so I went with it.

    This week I thought: let’s go with this mug design thing and make a romantic design that works not only for Valentine’s day but for any romantic occasion – wedding, engagement, romantic tea for two!

    In this video I sketch out design, draw in ink and then paint it in watercolour.

    You can buy the mug here:
