DesertFriends May wallpaper calendar

Well it just turned Friday and since I don't seem to require any sleep now that I'm on iron pills and Sainsbury's Blue Bolt here it is - the DesertFriends desktop calender for May!
Drag it and set it as your desktop wallpaper if you like it and check back next month.

Some of my artwork is available to buy as laptop skins, ipod/iphone skins and on a T-shirt at the Society6 Shop! At the moment it's my Portland, Oregon themed stuff from the Portland show that I got on there but more to follow soon, I'm pretty excited!

******************************************************************************
I just attended the London Book Fair, exhausting, but nice to meet and catch up with people, such a difference to my normal routine and it's always great to talk about the stuff that I'm up to day in day out in semi-isolation...:o) Thanks, and hope to see everyone again sometime!

Editorial work + blurb

Some of my illustrations about learning for better marks re-appeared in this German publication which also features a small blurb of me this time! It says that I said school (i.e. learning) should be fun, which I wanted to express with my illustrations.
Primary school was about 90% no fun as I remember it: I got sent out of math class in 4th grade because I was so bad at it! Now that's great teaching...;o)

Garden Pattern - Spoonflower Contest

I entered this in the Spoonflower Garden Fabric Contest,
