WORDSA child asked Neil Gaiman,
'I want to be an author when I grow up. Am I mad?' Neil replied, 'Yes. Growing up is highly overrated. Just be an author.' I truly believe this. It is how I try to live and the underlying message in a lot of my writing. 'Believe in the magic and keep your inner child alive!' Writing Projects

'Artists and illustrators are different creatures. Illustrators tell a story with their art.'Before I became an illustrator, much of my artistic works featured children and animals and I held a successful art exhibition 'Bless the Beasts and the Children' Now that I work as an illustrator I find that I still paint children and animals, with the odd monster thrown in for good measure. I have illustrated
My favourite medium to work in for illustrating is watercolour, but I also use pen and ink, acrylics, oils, pastels, coloured pencils and digitally, using a stylus and graphics tablet to paint. |
