I'm excited to be able to announce that I've been working with the lovely people at Workman Publishing on the 2018 version of their popular Today Is Going To Be A Great Day calendar.
More than 30 illustrators have contributed to this fun page-a-day calendar. I had a blast choosing and illustrating ten uplifting phrases for my days. Just another 471 days until it's 2018...!
The cover of the 2017 calendar. You'll have to wait until 2018 to see mine!
The Surtex follow-up continues apace. I have two fabulous new commissions from US publishers - more on those when I can reveal the details - I've been busy putting together fabric collections for sales meetings in Australia, Japan and Korea, and I've sold a collection direct to a great new client in the US.
I also managed to squeeze in the last Make Art That Sells Bootcamp assignment, which was to create a journal cover using zinnias. I'm no botanist and honestly, I've never seen a zinnia in my life. Turns out they are a wonderful variety of round, pom-pom flowers, attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies.
