I performed at a bookish festival yesterday. It was good fun reading from #thedaymydoggotfamous and sharing some illustration tips, but since being sent this photo, I'm wondering how I missed a perfect opportunity to perform the old tablecloth trick! 🪄

I enjoyed doing a spot of window painting at the very lovely ebb & flo bookshop this morning 🐾🙃🖌️ All ready for the Chorley Council #whatsyourstorychorley festival this weekend. 😁

Love this #theaccidentaldiaryofbug class door. Such a super idea letting the children change the background doodles to represent their own likes. 😍🤩
