……lot of nothing.

This arrived in the post just this week. I have crap in a real book. A real book put together by the great Katie Haegele. A book about cats.
Lots of great writing and pictures from people about their cats.
I’m not expecting anyone down in Australia to buy it. Sadly market forces make the postage prohibitively expensive. I don’t blame them, I blame the world. Oh well.
Other countries I imagine you get a much better deal. Especially the US of course.
But if you do want to spend $50Aud on postage for a book that’s about $30Aud. Here’s the link.










Elizabeth JM Walker my Canadian zine and book collaborating friend, has updated and published the story about her grandmother who was a nurse to POW’s in World War 2. I was lucky to get to illustrate it. It’s a story of the ordinary people who are caught up in the decisions of others. Unfortunately, it is still relevant. We did forget.
You can buy it on Amazon around the world. This link is for Australia. HERE

…more sounds of thoughts.
I’ll keep working on them, and one day I will let you know where they are in the wild
I’m binding up a conference paper from the NSW bookbinders guild and made my own cover and endpapers as there isn’t one already.
But I like my new friends so will probably turn it into a new zine at some stage.





I’ve been working away at drawing for a collection of Elizabeth J.M. Walker’s fairy tales. I have made two zines previously with her, “The Boy Who Owned the Forest” and “The Maze”, but she went and found a real book publisher, Handersen Publishing, and they’re going to make a real fancy book.
It will be out this year, not sure when, but I’m trying my best to finish off the pictures. The main problem being is that I start new ones before I finish the ones I’m working on. There’s so much I want to draw.
These are pictures for the story “The Tree”.
