I'm not very good at portraits but I felt that this one of a friend of mine really did him justice.

Well, we're into June...Halfway through the year and heading for the longest day later this month. Where did the year go?

I have been very fortunate for the past month working with Scholastic books. They have given me a series of five books to illustrate which have been great fun and with an amazing picture researcher who is a joy to work for. It has kept me busy and on my toes.

I have also started work with a new agent who has submitted one of my children's book ideas for publication. I have no idea what will happen but I will keep my fingers crossed.

Because I have been busy I have no illustrations to post. I don't think it's good to upload images I have been drawing before they come out in print.

I will have some new ones soon and they will be uploaded as soon as they are done.

Enjoy June
