autumn drawing near

I've been trying to be more organised with the way I use my time. Well, it's never too late to try... I've finally finished the illustrations for The Coffee Thrush, which is waiting to be rushed to press just as soon as it's all formatted up. Here's a few of the newest pics. There's a slight hodgepodge of styles going on. Not sure if that's a good thing.

  2. I love them all.

    It's easy to spot the babies that come looking for crumbs, they aren't so wary. I exect the cats have noticed too.

  7. Last night I was playing with a book cataloguing tool - it speaks the title and authors as you scan which is handy - however it does it in American accent and your book, I mean THE BOOK, does indeed sound like

    Becoming Godzila...
