New oil pastel pieces + new website

These are two of my new oil pastel + pencil pieces that I had at the Inkygoodness 4 Play show, HeartBreak Lodge and Ex Tennis Pro, plus a detail of the guy from HeartBreak Lodge.

There's lots more new stuff on my updated website which I re-built completely using Indexhibit, check it out -> DesertFriends.com

I answered some questions about my children's book work in the current issue (11) of Digital Artist.
My pictures feature my recently illustrated books Grow & Recycling and Ooh La La Polka Dot Boots.
Thanks to Poz Watson and April Madden!
