Greetings faithful and patient followers! As NZ enters into lockdown and families are forced into solitary confinement, the trick is, keeping yourself positive and alive in spirit as well as in body!
Have you ever said you would write a novel one day? Well, that day has come!
Ever said "oh I wish I could draw"? Now is the opportunity to learn.
Spend time with your families - for those not sharing confinement with you, there is always the telephone, or any manner of video chat groups. Write them emails! Connect with people digitally where you cannot socially.

Over the next few days/weeks I'll try and post a few things up here to keep you (and maybe the kids) entertained: coloring pages, drawing tutorials. It's going to be a testing time for families, but we can do this.

To begin, here's some lineart I drew many years ago. They are manakins. I do not know their species. Your challenge? Color them! If you crave accuracy, research first!

Kia Kaha!

All set up at the Tamariki book festival, Rauora park, Christchurch. The weather might be dicey but the coffee is warm and there's lots of fun to be had!
I'm doing my presentation on the Red Velvet stage at 11.20 and have a "draw (or colour) Tiriki" table set up too.

My books have arrived just in the nick of time for the festival! Normally $25 each, I shall be offering the bird books at 2 for $40.

As part of the Tamariki book festival I shall be raffling off this specially drawn illustration - as well as having colouring pages so kids can colour in a Tiriki of their own, or for the older kids (and adults!), draw him!

We will have various colouring materials there including pens and pencils, donated by one of my lovely friends.

I am intending to launch my novel, "Tiriki's Great Escape" at the Tamariki Children's book festival on November 24th.

Finished the illustrations for it today! Now it's off to the printers :)

New jacket for Aroha's Grand Adventure.

Working on the new cover for Aroha's Grand Adventure. To the scanner we must go!

Getting there now... Lucie is not as helpful as she thinks she is!

Image is coming along. Takes a lot longer than my standard art cards!

Work in progress.
