Glad I can officially speak about the Amulet movie now, as we started long ago. I’ve been heavily involved, working with an amazing team, and I hope it turns out as well as I think it will… deadline.com/2024/10/welcom…

My cartoon for this week’s Guardian Books

Currently reading Georgia and the Edge of the World by Robin Boyden 📚

Exciting!

An early Halloween cartoon for New Scientist 🧪🦇

Can 100% throw my hat behind this & categorically state that these collaborations really do reach new readers, create more excited fan bases and produce reoccurring stock purchases. It’s one of the most wonderful partnerships in the library space! ✨🖤✨

Currently reading It’s Lonely at the Centre of the Earth by Zoe Thorogood . So many great visual ideas there📚

If you're around Edinburgh, we're doing a (free) comic workshop for 16+ at National Library of Scotland, sharing lots of tips for making your own comics. That's Friday 15th November at 2.30pm - looking forward to it! Book here: nls.uk/whats-on/creat…

This is awful news. If I might suggest from the comics side of things, however, you do see that when you show children how to create their own comics, and they then ✨realise all the stories of their own that they can tell✨ it really empowers them and ignites a thirst for more.

This is very sad. Wondering how much of this has been exacerbated by the pandemic, with kids not being in school and taking the habit of using screens a lot more at a critical point in their life. Thankfully comics are here ti help: more and more kids are reading them.

Thanks Alness Academy Languages Department for inviting us. Had a great time!
