You might have read what it says in the little about box to the right. ‘London mum and wannabe illustrator’. It’s a dream, but nothing that should be left untried. And now that little L spends some time at the nursery, the excuses for me not to pick up my pen and draw are running thin.

When I was pregnant, I started writing a children’s book. That’s about a year ago. Recently, I de-dusted the sketchbook and started working on the illustrations for the story. The whole thing is plotting along rather slowly, and with posting about it here, I hope to put a bit of (positive) pressure on myself.

Let me introduce you to… the monster. She plays the lead role.

Enough said for now. The pressure is on. I am off sketching.
