Hello. As some of you know I've spent the last two years on a kids' book illustration course called Pathways. The course was aimed at underrepresented people and was an accessible way to learn.

We are in a time of unprecedented ecological crisis. Animals large and small are declining everywhere. It is time to make small sacrifices to help the natural world survive and thrive. If you're lucky enough to own some garden space, here's a thread on things you can do help...

It’s well worth taking 2 minutes to read this thread. The biggest thing I learned from a decade working in probation is that helping people change their lives needs to be driven by endless wells of empathy & patience. This is a great example.

My article for @TheBookseller is out!

Will publishing fight for illustrators against AI?

"Illustrators are constantly fighting battles to recognise our contribution; what we need now is for publishing to reassure us we won't be cut out altogether."

After my talk
about Covid:
the look of loss
in a man’s face
as he tells me of
a weakness
in every part of his body.
The look of loss
in a woman’s face
as she tells me of
a heart that
suddenly pumps
at a rate
that leaves her
weak and breathless.

@dc_litchfield Thank you for the excellent class yesterday, David, I learnt loads. I checked and ET only goes for £15 on eBay so he's staying with me until he builds* his own interstellar communications system.
