Happy Birthday Percy

21 this year!

It is 21 years this year since Percy Pig first appeared in M&S stores. I created the Percy Pig character as we know him now about 18 years ago and have continued to illustrate him ever since. I can't believe how he has grown!

Daddy Is My Hero

Daddy has done really well. Random tell me that Daddy Is My Hero written by Dawn Richards was the third bestselling children's book in the UK just the other week. Beaten to the No1 spot by the very talented David Walliams and a favourite of mine Peppa Pig!

My blog has been a little neglected recently. I am busy working on a number of new books but as always I am sworn to secrecy. I have though finally got around to putting together a new website. I hope you like it.

Lovely Reviews

Richard Dungworth the author of the great text for One Little Baby just told me about two new reviews. One little Baby is May's Bookbug Book of the Month on the Scottish Book Trust Website. Yahoo! Lifestyle also posted a really kind review.

Just hanging about..

A little doodle.

I have never got on with sketchbooks-find them far too scary! Instead I have lots of random doodles on copy paper and layout just hanging around my office.
