This year I've had quite a few people contact me about buying prints of my illustrations. Finally I got organised and I've had some limited edition giclée prints made from 3 images from the Sydney Series of drawings I did earlier this year. These images will be printed in a small edition of 10 and will be signed and numbered. The prints arrived last week and are gorgeous...printed onto fine art archival Torchon paper with a lovely watercolour paper texture.

a new magazine, Home Basics, has just hit the newstands and is stuffed with my illustration work. there is a lovely double page collagey spread on the idea of a Wonderwalk... rediscovering your neighbourhood.
