Wow, not only have I been gone a long time, but I just wrote a huge journal entry full of witty prose and clever insights, and then somehow deleted it. Bugger. Here is the abridged version.
Moved from cold place to warm place in the sun.
Not painting as much as writing novel for YAs and children's book.
Illustrating and sketching heaps of characters, scenes and ideas for both books.
Also cartooning for local (and totally awesome) coffee roasters and cafe, espresso Botero in Maclean, NSW (Australia). They are fantastic for the following reasons:
1. They pay me to draw cartoons
2. They seem to really like what I do
3. They are very understanding of the hours I can work for them (given I am a home dad with a new bub), and place little, to no, expectations on me ever setting or making a deadline
4. They are just lovely people
5. They make the best coffee... ever. I'm not kidding it is really good.
