In Edinburgh – an appendix

As a brief follow up to my recent role as Illustrator in Residence at the Edinburgh Book Festival, there are a couple of links on The Guardian website I thought I’d share.

Firstly, an on-line gallery celebrating Katie’s 25th Anniversary is available HERE:

And secondly, while in Edinburgh, several authors were asked to doodle for a stop motion snippet, and here’s my doodle (it’s actually me practising The Great Gate of Kiev for Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition). Its very short, but a bit of fun. You can see it on Vine HERE:

And while you are watching it, I’ll be painting just as fast as I race towards the deadline on my latest book – a new Ella Bella story. It’s all go here, I tell you!
