I think that it was my love of traditional drawing methods that put me off getting an iPad Pro & Apple Pencil for so long. There’s something about choosing the right pen or brush or pencil that I just love. And I’ve always designed things this way- starting from a super rough sketch- that I then ink up, and scan…

In the first few days we had Frankie (back in 2014 now) we learned one thing very quickly: the forest cat in him loves nothing more than to CLIMB. This started with perching on our shoulders and quickly graduated to him scaling the living room curtains (which are 3m high by the way) We built him a 2m tall scratching pole…
