I have one foot in the West and one foot in the East. I am fascinated by stories and folktales, magic and animals, ironies and origins. I love the Beautiful, but require the Ridiculous. 

I AM AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A FISH OUT OF WATER.

NEVER YOU MIND PRESS

I’ve been an Illustrator for 20 years. I’ve written a few books and I’ve loved a few books to death. I love painting and drawing, but I am also OBSESSED with carving and printmaking. I lived in Japan for 3 years and I got so fascinated by wood block printing. I somehow never thought I could or should do it. I have these old Taisho era Sharaku prints on my walls that I’ve been staring at for years. Well one day I just knew it was time. So I started "Never You Mind Press"

 

To keep up to date with sketches, projects, books and doggy drama you could follow me on Instagram, it's where I am most up to date. Honestly, I can’t be everywhere at once.
