Hello hello!
It feels like this year has been the year of short travel trips for me: Melbourne, Norwood and now most recently I've been off to Our Nation's Capital, Canberra. I was there selling my zines at Noted Festival and also getting in some quality hang time with my fantastic pal Kyra (who moved to C-town a couple of years ago for work).
I didn't realise just how much I missed her face and spirit in my life until I saw her and got to spend time just being around her. Y'know those really great friends you have, that it doesn't matter how long you've been apart, you just fall back into each other's lives? It's a pretty great feeling. Although now I miss her more than ever.
Anyway, with all these small trips my routine keeps getting all disrupted and it always takes me a little while to get back into the swing of things, respond to emails etc. But I'm back and about to get stuck into Part Three of my book (all about Fears and what the future holds for me and Rob). So while I'm working hard on that, have a read of this little excerpt from the pencil draft of Part Two. It's my go-to story when I'm trying to explain to someone who doesn't know Rob at all just how clever and amazing and perceptive my brother can be.
This is straight out of my pencil draft manuscript so it's not final art (JSYK).
Rob really is pretty amazing.
Alright pals, that's it for this week but don't worry, there will be more coming soon, I promise.
Until next time, stay indoors, keep warm and watch that movie you've been thinking about seeing but constantly putting off.

Following on from my last post about how the design of the characters in my graphic novel, Oh Brother, have changed over the 7-ish years I’ve been working on the book, this post is about my absolute favourite thing: drawing emotions!
