Kind words
She drew our whole café on a napkin while we were ordering. That napkin is now our logo.
Tomas, Café Kettle Our readers ask for the whale by name. Nobody has ever asked for a book by name before.
Ana, Little Harbour Books Four hours of drawing on a Saturday and I went home with a cat I am actually proud of.
Rui, workshop in March
Good questions.
How far ahead should I ask?
For a book, half a year. For a poster or a print, a month is usually enough. Walls depend on the weather.
Can I see sketches before I pay?
The first talk and the three pencil sketches cost nothing. You pay half when we go to colour.
Do you draw digitally?
Pencil and ink on paper first, always. The colour is sometimes paint and sometimes the computer.
a story that needs pictures?
Let’s draw it.
