In the Studio
Oct/Nov 2024
Another year is flashing by so quickly! There is still lots in the pipeline, still work in progress. The book I am working on, Catworld, is coming along and soon I will submit to an agent to help get Catworld out to everyone in the world. We could all do with a little Catworld in our lives.
Currently I have mocked up the first book of Catworld. This helps to see how the pages fit together, to space out the page turns, panels and also work on the pacing of the story. As Catworld explores the world there are full pages spreads to show the world​. Catworld is a place that allows me to escape, a world that is safe and where no pain or stress exists. I hope you will enjoy it too.
​
In addition to Catworld, my latest dolphin research paper is still in the 'review pipeline', but hopefully it will be out soon. That would be a great way to start 2025 for sure. I have worked on that paper for over 10 years, hundreds of hours of reading, watching dolphins, talking to people and writing so I can't wait to share it. Andrew Cooke from the University of Lincoln has been such a great support and co-author. He has done the statistical analysis, and had really helped get the paper out there. I will be presenting my paper on object use by the same dolphins in early November at the Animal Behaviour Live Conference online. Check it out- will be great to 'see' you there.
​
Next year I will be releasing a series of illustrations that will be available for licensing. Illustrations will be of animals, and wildlife, nature. As well as these illustrations I am working on a line of greeting card illustrations for world wide distrubituion. And of course I will have my 'all cat breeds' poster finished and available. Illustrations will also be available for licensing purchase.
​
It's that 'scary' time again! Enjoy the pumpkin season and give thanks.
Hope you enjoy these little sketches I have been working on.
Until next time keep drawing and remember:
