Publication day – The Adventures of Catvinkle

The Adventures of Catvinkle is out now across Australia and the UK. On this gorgeous book I was so fortunate to work with Miles Franklin Award winner, Elliot Perlman, on his first book for children. This is a junior fiction novel about a flying cat, Catvinkle, and her Dalmation friend, Ula. Their unlikely friendship blooms in Amsterdam. The book tackles themes of prejudice, bullying and friendship.  I created a black and white ink and watercolour illustration for each chapter in the book. It was such a treat to draw so many lovely dogs and cats! Look out for it now.

Space chickens in space

I leant my animation skills to Disney again (sigh!) for this hilarious new series, Space Chickens in Space. Coming to your screens later in 2018.

Big news for Charlie’s Tales

My illustrations for Pretty Foundation have been brought to life! This amazing animated pilot features the second Charlie story, and is set to develop into a series. It’s so excited to see my drawings come to life, congrats to the team at Viskatoons in Melbourne.

Interview with Early Childhood Book Reviews

I did this interview recently with the good folks over at Early Childhood Book Reviews. It was such a fun interview, please take a read. They also gave Mr Mo Starts to Grow a glowing review! If you ever buy children’s books, check out the site and follow them on instagram.  They really know their stuff!

Kitty is Not a Cat airdate

I’ve just wrapped up animation on Kitty is Not a Cat at BES Animation in Melbourne. This new kid’s show begins screening on Channel 7 in Australia tomorrow morning, and will soon be screening in Italy, Africa, the Middle East and more! It’s such a great show, featuring music by Quan Yeomans and voices by Rove McManus and Cal Wilson.

Book launch at the Little Bookroom

The launch for Mr Mo Starts to Grow was hosted by the Little Bookroom on the weekend. It was such a fantastic event, my heartfelt thanks goes out to everyone who attended.  Make sure you drop by The Little Bookroom if you are in Melbourne, they are the children’s book experts!

Collaboration with Pretty Foundation

I am honoured to have worked with the Pretty Foundation on this gorgeous new book for children, Charlie’s Tales: Sylvie and the Star Tree. I worked with the foundation to create Charlie, a new role model for girls. I also illustrated this first book in the series, which contains a body positive story for girls along with discussion points for parents.
