As an artist I enjoy working in many different styles with all kinds of mediums. 
The illustrations for 'Faylina' by DL Redshaw for Butterfly Kiss Books were hand drawn with ink on paper before being coloured digitally. This method was chosen to achieve the publisher's desired look and compliment the story. After I finished the illustrations they were handed over to the publisher to be formatted and optimised for print.
This process is very different to working with paint and a brush but every bit as enjoyable!

A Pink Galah flew down for a visit, had a feed, and let me take some photos. 

I read that both the male and female Pink Galah has the same feather colouring, however apparently the male has black eyes, where as, the female has pinkish eyes.

Maybe if I'm lucky, I'll find a pink feather floating about one day.

I had a fantastic time creating illustrations for Australian author DL Redshaw's new book 'Faylina'. 

'Faylina' is the first book in the series which is being published by Butterfly Kiss Books. 
You can find out more about 'Faylina' on 'DL Reshaw Kids Author' Facebook page. I'll also be posting updates here.  

Sometimes I wonder where my pen is, other times I just use a pencil.

The first book in the series by DL Redshaw is almost complete now so I can finally give you a sneak peek of one of the illustrations. I had heaps of fun creating this image.

And guess what...$2.00 of the proceeds of every book sold, go to the CLOWN DOCTORS!

I'll add details for the website soon.

The little Joey is getting bigger everyday. Yesterday, Joey was even practicing hopping about in the bushes!
Here is a photo of Joey in the mother wallaby's pouch. They were lovely to pose for me again.

 After posing the mother wallaby went back to drinking water from the bowl. She drinks very loudly; it sounds a bit like a thirsty dog lapping up water on a hot day.
