November brings a change


I’ve wrestled with the idea that most of these posts are somehow unfinished, incomplete in some way. There is an internal struggle about how to fix this;
I like observing people and trying to record them in a few minutes as much as I like making people up in my head and really trying to bring out their imaginary characters. These are two opposing side of my creativity.
But I am stuck in the middle. Neither here nor there is a frustrating! So I thought it would be a challenge to take more creative risks. I’ve started a blog on tumblr (wisdomist.tumblr.com) that is more grown up and hopefully more risky.
Here, I’ll be trying my hardest to push whatever boundaries I can within my chosen area of children’s and family safe illustration and topics.

I am a children's book illustrator and author. I trained as a graphic designer, and have worked in publishing for over thirty years. Nowadays I work at Harper Collins running an inclusive global imprint called Kumusha Books. I still write and illustrate children's books though and enjoy every minute immersed in publishing!
