Excitement brewing as my very first picture book, written by the clever Tania McCartney and published by the fine folk at EK books, is released in under a month. Stay tuned for Melbourne launch details (April 9 at the Little Bookroom) but in the mean time here is our cover!

Day 3 of #endangeredanimalsweek - the Amur Leopard, critically endangered with only around 80 left in the wild. “People usually think of leopards in the savannas of Africa but in the Russian Far East, a rare subspecies has adapted to life in the temperate forests that make up the northern-most part of the species’ range. Similar to other leopards, the Amur leopard can run at speeds of up to 37 miles per hour. This incredible animal has been reported to leap more than 19 feet horizontally and up to 10 feet vertically.” (From the wwf). We’ve been loving seeing the art from across the world for this project, but also so sad at the overwhelm learning about even more threatened and endangered animals I hadn’t heard of. #endangeredweek #amurleopard

Thank you for the #etsy sock orders! I’ve been loving sending them all over from Fitzroy neighbours to the US - and been madly stickering the test ready for the @bigdesignmarket - I took some for a spin to Melbourne Museum awhile ago and then realised sock photos are TRICKY to take! #bigdesignmaket #socksofinstagram 🌈😅

Day two of #endangeredanimalsweek and an animal I had never heard of before, I’m afraid! A Vaquita. These critically endangered beauties (only an estimated 6 to 22 alive) are the rarest marine mammal threatened by illegal netting and fishing, found in the Gulf of California near Mexico 😢 #vaquita #endangeredweek

#endangeredanimalsweek is upon us, sharing illustrations of some amazing and very threatened creatures. (You can see the list of animals and join in by looking at my frog post!). First, the Pangolin - “Pangolins are threatened by poaching (for their meat and scales) and heavy deforestation of their natural habitats, and are the most trafficked mammals in the world. Of the eight species of pangolin, four (Phataginus tetradactyla, P. tricuspis, Smutsia gigantea, and S. temminckii) are listed as vulnerable, two (Manis crassicaudata and M. culionensis) are listed as endangered, and two (M. pentadactyla and M. javanica) are listed as critically endangered on the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species (Wikipedia). #endangeredweek #pangolin ps there are some wonderful artists participating - check out the hashtag as the week progresses to see all the interpretations 🌈❤️

I thought now was a good time to pass on the $500 fundraiser pin donation to the Koala Foundation, given the horrid fires at the moment and devastating images coming from NSW. There’s still a small amount available, and $5 from each sale has been given to help support the Australian 🐨 Foundation ❤️ my monkey helped me show the pins in action proudly! #etsy #pingame #koala #koalafoundation

Turtles from TOOMLY; and that mid week feeling (Friday/ weekend - dude on right). #affirmpress #turtles #watercolour
