Party Time!
Yesterday Dona and Lynn and Nick, Lynn's son, Mary, Lynn's sister, and Sergio, a fellow from last year, came round for a party! Very kindly it was in honour of my last published book, Showtime for Billie and Coco - a book party! I hid in my room while they put up decorations and when I came out the house was transformed with animal balloons, blow-up monkeys and paper totem poles.
Outside the house, all lit up * Hermann in festive mood * the party gang - Alice, Denise, Me, Lynn, Gerardo, Nick, Dona and Sergio
Us again - with Mary too
And if that wasn't enough, with a delicious Chinese takeaway, then came.... THE CAKE!! Look at this cake! It was absolutely THE BEST.
Gerardo photoshopped my face into the picture, feel like I should have this on all future book covers from now on. Or have books made out of cake.

Night colours!
Outside the house at night it's very, very dark apart from our porch light which throws a diminishing light to about 10 metres out... then the trees get quickly darker where things lurk and make sinister sounds. Anyway I like the lit up colours vs the black behind. These are also pretty Tomi Ungerer, Moon Man inspired! 
Before the party...
After the party.

Sunday
Today Alice, Gerardo and I got our portraits painted! The artist Jonathan Weinberg came with his partner Nick and spent the day in the house with us, capturing our elusive essences. When the portraits are finished I will hopefully post a pic, but until then here is an action shot.
Photo taken by Dona Ann McAdamsAnd here are some Mad Men cats. I can tell I'm settled in now, as the drawing pfaffing is starting to happen. Tomorrow I'm going to have to get strict with myself... or maybe Tuesday.
