This Is Creativity
A motivational manifesto to encourage your creativity.

The Merry Players
A magical, theatrical adventure!
A timely story of a theatre under threat and a ten year old boy called Jackson who will do anything he can to save it. An enchanting, page-turner for 8 - 12 year olds, full of theatrical wonder, unexpected betrayal and unforeseen friendship.
The Merry Players is a story of how magic can happen when you least expect it AND when you most need it.

A mug full of creativity.
I made this mug to remind me that creativity is always there for me. Whatever my emotions, it’s somewhere I can always turn to express myself, to find comfort, to feel inspired. If in doubt, I always, always create.
Hug
A book of hugs for someone you love.
Over the past two years I’ve been drawing hugs to comfort myself and others. I asked people how hugs made them feel and this book is a gathering of my illustrations coupled with their replies. I loved how many different words people used to describe the feeling. And I especially loved how children often had the same simple response ... Happy.
