SCBWI Bulletin

I had fun doing this cover for the March/April issue of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators Bulletin. Every one of their cover illustrations involves a kite in some way. It's the Chinese Year of the Dragon, so this was the first kite to spring to mind.

As always, a beautiful cover! I heard you speak at the SCBWI conference and you signed a copy of Missed Connections for me. After searching for an artistic direction in mid-life, you have inspired me to create my own illustration blog. Thank you for sharing and inspiring more art to grow!

It sounds like a remarkable trip you are on. I often remind myself how lucky I am to live in Australia, to have security, food, freedom of expression. I love your work. It's unique and I love the quirkiness. Best wishes in everything you do.
