Facebook reminding me that it was 11 years ago today that I met the inspirational Raymond Briggs at a book signing . I nervously told him I wanted to be an illustrator and have a book published with my name on it . This week I finished my 60th book. Meet your hero’s and always dare to dream ❤️

This year I was lucky enough to paint a 2.5m tall giraffe called Boaty, for #Cambridge and I did a tiny version of it too for myself. And I also painted a miniature ox to raise funds for Sobell House Hospice in #Oxford. Inspired by The Boat Race, Oxford Uni Boat Club and University of Oxford. 🐂💙
