Well, I guess Glasgow's Willy Chocolate Experience could be the story of the year.

Certainly explains why there has been a spike in pin sales since last month!

'Its the most wonderful time of the year!'

Happy Pancake Day, wishing you all the jam maple syrup you could ever hope for.

Please note that pancakes are fat thick things, not thin wee rubbishy crepes, those should really be known as panfakes.

Hey kidlit illustrators, I’d like to gift a free, one-hour, portfolio-review/coaching-session.

1) reply with a sample of your art.
2) repost this message.

I’ll pick a winner at random from those who do both. Win or lose, I’ll take a close look at every reply.

💙❤️

Happy BirthdayBagpuss, dear Bagpuss Old Fat Furry Catpuss

Hard to believe there was only ever 13 episodes made. It was one of my favourites, as was pretty much anything created Smallfilms.

After popular demand, I still almost forgot to let people know we received another wee run of our 1980s party tea towels.

The best parties are in the kitchen and in the 80s.

Back in stock on my site now.

I've been diving in my archives, it is a ton of fun to find projects you were working on but didn't quite finish.

Really want to work on this again next year, so I've made the wee guy into a see, hear & speak print pinned to my wall to remind me.

A wee memory popped up earlier about this range I created for @thedeephull at the start of the year.

I need to do a process video showing how these came about from my early sketches and collaborating with the ace team at the Deep.

A Killer Party but can you name all 14 costumed characters?

Had a wee visit to Edinburgh a few weeks ago to meet my pal at @nationalmuseumsscotland & get a chance to see the range we collaborated on for their fab Little Black Dress exhibition.

Such a great show and a really fun range to work on.

Still time to visit, the show finishes on 29 October. #Museum

A lovely range I collaborated on with the Sainsbury Centre earlier this year.

Sometimes you can't get along to see the final display so it is ace to see photos like this. All looks great together.

I've been lucky to work with lots of brilliant stockists including fab museums, galleries and design stores but I think this might be our first theatre. @shakespearenorthplayhouse in Prescot, Merseyside is a cultural and educational venue opened in 2022.
