This Little Piggy Went Singing

At last my illustrations have been published in a brand new picture book and it's in the book shops now!. This is a sequel to This Little Piggy Went Singing written by Margaret Wild. The new book features the piggies getting ready for Christmas and excitedly enjoying the journey to the big day!

It is just the book to get you in the Christmas mood. The illustrations were great fun to do especially as they involved happy piglets in a festive spirit. I love the sparkly glittery cover.

Thanks to Allen and Unwin, the publishers!

More Piggies

I've been hard at work illustrating a sequel to This Little Piggy Went Dancing! The new picture book will be called This Little Piggy Went Singing and is again written by Margaret Wild.

This time the piggies are preparing for Christmas and all the illustrations have a joyous happy vibe. The book is planned for publication towards the end of this year.

Below is a sneak peek!

This Little Piggy Went Dancing

My new book has just been published and it's swarming with little pigs!

Teaming up with the fabulous Margaret Wild who wrote the words, I have let myself loose by creating an abundance of active piglets!

To get into a piggy mood, I'll be adding some fun activity pages in the coming week.

This book is published by Allen & Unwin and is available now.

A plethora of pigs

What is it about the charms of our porcine friends which attract the artist and illustrator?
Many a delightful character has been created in pigly form by a large number of artists.
Here is a selection of superb swines to appreciate. All by artists who have a special affinity with the inspiring pig.
