Oh It's #portfolioday? Why not. I'm Chuck, I illustrate picture books, and I like to think I'm good at drawing trees, the past, animals, and light. Last year I published my author debut Boy Here, Boy There, and illustrated a picture book by Chris Pine.

Many thanks to the lovely people of @booktrust.bsky.social Northern Ireland and @clivemcf.bsky.social for a truly wonderful Author Tour last week. EVERY SINGLE KID we met got their own copy of #WhatisaPeachick to take home. The programme is pure magic, and it was such a joy to be a part of it 🌟📚🦚
