original art show

Huh.

Slightly surreal for MOLE to be included in this year’s Original Art Show.

I started in children’s publishing as a design assistant, and used to submit books to the Original Art Show. One time, I was lucky and went to the opening reception when an AD couldn’t go. I remember admiring all the beautiful art in the packed stuffy room. And also awkwardly standing in a corner among the talented famous illustrators, editor, and art directors who all seem to know each other. (This happened again a few years later…)

But WHO knew that one day my art would be on the wall too.

I’ll be there at the opening in November, awkwardly hiding behind friends. But please say Hi if you see me! Don’t be offended if I stare and grimace. That’s my attempt to smile when I’m nervous.
