Wonderful news this week. Roodica The Rude and the Famous Flea Trick by Margaret Ryan, has been selected for the Richard And Judy Children's Book Club in partnership with WHSmith and The Book Trust.

It appears alongside five other books in the Read Together section, and launches today.

Very much enjoyed illustrating the Roodica series. Very funny text. Loved scribbling all that messy hair!

Keep peeling your eyes for this in WHSmiths!

Blue Suede Shoes!

Watch this space for information on our next collaborative project, a book called Blue Suede Shoes. An exhibition of our work will follow.

Recent work

I've just finished a couple of big projects - a new book for my Italian publisher Edizioni Corraini, and illustrations for Basel Kantonal bank annual report. Can't really post anything until they're out, but in the meantime here are a couple of recent pieces for Valore Alimentare magazine and Mother and Baby magazine. Currently working on my images for the first Gumbo book 'Blue Suede shoes', more to come on that very soon!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you! The Gumbo's have some very exciting projects in the pipeline so watch this space! In the meantime, we will keep putting up our personal work. Here is one I did just before Christmas for the Sunday Express magazine.
