Greetings Cards

Received some brilliant card samples from a couple of printing companies & now can't wait to get some made. Spent all week working on new designs, including Christmas ones. It feels very strange drawing snowmen and snowflakes in July (especially in such a hot one) but it makes sense to plan ahead.

Afraid that I can't show any of the new stuff just yet, but the picture is of a card I designed earlier this year. It's called Granny Mafia. Probably one of my better titles!

Aesop's Fable

30 degrees Centigrade and about a billion in Fahrenheit - is that spelt right? I'm too hot to care! Anyway, been busy looking at printing companies as I want to make my own cards. And also found a company that will print 3D models of things I build on my computer. So excited!

Also heard some very interesting publishing news yesterday, but can't say anything more just yet.

Mother Mouse

Piers Harper's News

This illustration is unpublished and I have just spent several minutes trying to remember if there was some kind of a story behind it. If there was, I honestly can't recall it. Mother Mouse is clearly sheltering her children from the wind but I can't help wondering if there is more going on. I'll have to put my thinking-cap on and see if I can come up with something.
