In other news, I have illustrations in two touring exhibitions at the mo...

The first is 'The Illustrators', an exhibition of contemporary children's book illustration, curated by Julia Donaldson and organised by The Park Gallery, Falkirk and Artlink Central. The first venue of the UK tour is Shetland Arts' Bonhoga Gallery, and the exhibition will run until 25th September, coinciding with Shetland Arts' book festival, 'Wordplay'.

I also have work in the Association of Illustrators 'Images 35' awards annual and touring exhibition. Images, now in its 35th year, is the UK's leading illustration competition, annual, awards show, and touring exhibition, dedicated to showcasing the best in British illustration. It is unique in that it is Britain's only jury-selected illustration competition, judged by a panel of industry experts. The Images 35 exhibition includes illustrations by Jonny Hannah, Ian Pollock, Simon Spilsbury, and David Hughes.
