Give Books

I had the honour of creating the Chronicle Books "Give Books" holiday campaign logo this year. For every #GiveBooks tweet, pin, or online signature Chronicle will donate a book to children in need through First Book with a goal of 10,000 books. Amazing!
Pledge to Give Books and you'll also receive 30% off and free shipping on everything at ChronicleBooks.com (excluding personalized products) through 12/31 with the promo code GIVEBOOKS.

You can also download FREE gift tags and a poster featuring my artwork and enter a fantastic giveaway (BOOKS!!!) over at Design Crush.

updates

I've updated the SkyCats gallery. (Click here)

cats & cartoonists & videos

I'm taking part in a couple of exhibitions in the upcoming months...
Cats & Cartoonists at Orbital Comics, London
Not For Rental at 71a Gallery, London
and I'll be signing things and generally making a fool of myself at the grand opening of Mama San's new website in Brighton.

daddy

Happy Father's Day to all the daddies... but especially my wonderful Dad
(You know who you are!)
Oops! Well, apparently Father's Day is NEXT Sunday... But the sentiment still stands!

roll up! roll up!

cats & dogs

"A Dog's Life" - a follow-up to "A Cat's Life"- for those who consider themselves to be more "dog people" than "cat people" - will be published in September by TeNeues.

IT'S TRUE...

Introducing ...

A new series - Mr Pickles the Pug and Beans the Cat star in some movie classics. First up, one of my all-time favourite films. Yeah, I know that it's actually Cassandra in this scene with Wayne, but Wayne is also a not pug so you can see I'm not going for 100% accuracy here.

New York City Cats (they ain't too smart)

Pictoplasma NY (rescheduled from November) is next week! Come down to Cappellini SoHo on Thursday night to see my drawings of foodie cats as well as lots of much better work by much better artists like Julia Pott and Andy Rementer.

Cats in the Sky (with diamonds?)

I can't believe that I've been drawing "Sky Cats" cartoons in the Emirates airlines "Open Skies" in-flight magazine for almost 2 years now! Catch up on any cartoons that you may have missed here...

Sandy, New York and Pizza Cats

Provided that Sandy concedes to bestow her good grace upon me, I will be travelling to New York next week for the Pictoplasma NY conference, where I will be doing a talk and taking part in the Pictoplasma group exhibition at Cappellini Gallery Soho, which runs November 1-30.*
* and to all my east-coast followers : stay safe, guys, OK?
