I've just arrived back from two weeks in Adelaide and I have a lot of other illustrations to load up here that I did while I was away. But I need to put on the next blog post a poster about my latest exhibition to advertise and celebrate National Poetry Day.
For 100 days I want to do a black and white children's book illustration in my visual diary about success in a whimsical, happy way.
