I hope the wait was worth it. Over three years in fact. The Otley Butterfly is the story of Elizabeth J. M. Walkers grandmother in World War Two, and how she formed friendships over enemy lines. Just the people caught up in a war they didn’t create.

I hope I’ve done it justice.

I’ll have it at the Manly Zine Fair this Saturday. Be one of the first in the world to get a copy. I am sending copies right now to Elizabeth who is going to have a book event on the 26th of September. I’ll keep you informed of that when I find out.

Elizabeth is a writer who wrote the script for this wordless Graphic Novella. You can find more about her on her website.

Her new novel “She Dreamed of Dragons,” is out now.

I’ve previously illustrated two of her fairy tales which are available in my ETSY shop.

Oh well.

We we went to the Butterfly Farm in Singapore airport they we all asleep as it was late. We should have been asleep too, but we’re not as smart as Butterflies.

Almost ready

I’m putting the finishing touches to a long overdue project that I’ve been working on. It’s the story of Elizabeth JMW’s grandmother in World War II which is about making friends across enemy lines, essentially about how ordinary people get caught up in other peoples battles.

Elizabeth is about to release a new YA book. Find out about it and more on her web page HERE
