Tom Paxton & Me

Tom Paxton invited me to go and see him in a recent concert at St. George's in Bristol the other week. The reason being, that we have just produced a book together based on one of his songs. I've been working on the illustrations for this since last August and it's satisfying to bring the project to it's conclusion. I have to admit that it's been one of the biggest challenges of my illustration career in the fact that I was 'forbidden' to actually illustrate the main 'character' in the story. The book will hopefully be published later in the year but I am sworn to secrecy for the moment. I can say that the American publisher is called Imagine and it will include a CD of the song which the book is based on. Watch this space...
