It was really exciting to be invited to exhibit some of the original screenprints from Hilda and the Runaway Baby as part of a group show at the Hive library in Worcester. Hatched! featured illustrations from seven new books by four Illustration tutors at Worcester University: Piet Grobler, Becky Palmer, Stephen Fowler and me. Here are few photos by Steve Waldron:
The Hive is such an amazing space for an exhibition – or to just visit and read in. The children’s library has tunnels under the bookcases and a brilliant workshop space, where Becky Palmer and I ran some vegetable print-making sessions. It turns out you can do incredible things with carrots and cauliflower, so after the workshops we added the children’s prints to the main exhibition. Here are an owl and a rabbit followed by a purple bear.

LOAf magazine in need
Imagine if there was no comics magazine for 9-12 year-olds called LOAf and all the bread and children in that age group were forced to read just any old comic that might be about frogs or carrots or anything. Well, shockingly, that is happening right now. Fortunately, some illustrators are trying to make a comics magazine called LOAf to up-end this sorry status quo, and while we are waiting for it we can give it some monies to get printed and/or watch a video about animate, literate bread.
I may or may not end up in LOAf, but some extremely excellent people will be in it, like maybe this one or this one or this one. I am excited and I am not even bread or 9-12 years old.
