So here's another thing that's been happening for me recently.
Here are some photos from the printers who are printing a new book. My book.
When I went to Clermont Ferrand's wonderful 'Rendez-vous Carnet de Voyage' exhibition last year I got to meet some publishers.
And one of them took a shine to me - well, took a shine to my work.
These photos tell the tale of what's been happening since then.
Next week the books will be at the publishers and I'll be back in France in November to promote it.
It's insane really. When I started drawing a few years ago, this would have been one of those things I would have dreamt of happening whilst not really believing it actually would. It still seems a bit odd. But that is indeed a book about my work and I really will be going to France to promote it. As I said, insane.
I'm just thrilled for you! Your work is just beautiful and deserves a wide audience. Congratulations!

The photies above made me fill up, I know how much this means to you, and how hard you work. You keep going from strength to strength. I guess your mind is blown. Go girl." x
