My Daily Drawings land in my shop (almost) every day.

This is a list of five things that have inspired me, or taught me something new over the past month. Hopefully these little nuggets will inspire you too.

1. Picture Hooks are having their Picture Book Conference at the new V&A in Dundee on Saturday 26th October. BTW My Picture Hooks Mentee of 2017, Kirsti Beautyman has had her first book, the one we worked on together during the Picture Hooks Scheme, 'The Mist Monster' published and I am very proud.

2. Take a look at this gem of a film of Laura Carlin talking at Offset Dublin.

3. Podcast: Mark Mills from Plum Pudding Illustration Agency talking to The Illustration Department podcast.

4. The SCBWI British Isles Conference 2019 is coming up on the 2nd and 3rd November – “Telling Tales”. This children's book conference aimed at writers and illustrators is jam packed with talks, folio reviews, workshops, masterclasses and competitions.

5. The brilliant Dark Town Troubadour, Jonny Hannah will also be busking in Berwick-upon-Tweed, as part of his Northumberland Folk project, on 2nd Nov, 1- ish.
