🎃 A little Halloween silliness coming your way!
I’m so excited to share one of my newest books, Trick or Treat! 👻
Welcome to Scareborough, where it’s Halloween every night and the Trick or Treatorium is packed with flying cupcakes, silly surprises… and yes, fart-scented candles. 😂
I had SO much fun illustrating this one and filling the pages with ridiculous little details and visual jokes.
A big thank you to Lake Press and Advocate-Art Art for bringing me into this wonderfully silly project! 💛
Part of the Story Time series for ages 1–5, this one is definitely for little readers who enjoy their Halloween with a healthy dose of mischief. 🎃🍬

🎃👻 NEW BOOK! Cute Halloween Window Art with @usborne_books 🐈⬛🦇
I’m very excited to finally share one of my latest books with Usborne — Cute Halloween Window Art! 🎃
This was such a fun one to illustrate — lots of cute pumpkins, bats, ghosts and, of course, cats. 🐈⬛👻
Children can colour, cut out and decorate their windows with the characters, with puzzles to enjoy along the way. A lovely little screen-free Halloween activity! 🧡
And yes… I may have added a few more cats than strictly necessary. 😂
This is one of 11 books I’m currently working on with Usborne, and I’m so grateful for the wonderful ongoing collaboration. Hopefully there will be many more to come! ✨
📚 Cute Halloween Window Art is available now.
If you’re a publisher, editor, or creative team looking for an illustrator for your next project, I’d love to hear from you!
✨ New commissions are booked through my agent @advocateart01 — please get in touch with them to discuss availability and projects.
🎃 Now I just need someone to keep giving me excuses to illustrate Halloween books…

🎂 A new book is coming! 🎂
I’m so excited to share one of my newest books — a playful birthday board book with cake-shaped layers and slices revealed as you turn the pages! 🍰
Lots of rhymes, birthday fun, colourful illustrations, and even a cupcake recipe at the end. 🧁
And my lovely publishers are very sweet. 😂 When I met them back in May, they actually made me cakes for our meeting! 🎂💕
Clearly, we have a shared appreciation for cake. 😆
And this is just the beginning… we have many more yummy food books coming soon! 🍓🍪🍰
Have a yummy book waiting to be illustrated? You know where to find me — my agent @advocateart01 Art is always happy to chat! 💛
I can’t wait to share more with you!

Happy Friday! Yay! 🥳✨
I just LOVE illustrating shopfronts, and this time I’m introducing Moggy Mart — run by the sweetest, slightly hairy, slightly overweight cat, Crumpet. 🐱🛒
(And NO, he’s not a bear! 🤣🤣)
I’m having way too much fun building this little Moggy Town universe. 🏠✨
Which shop would you love to see next? 👀💭
My little silly comic book story featuring Crumpet, the owner of Moggy Mart. 😊
Crumpet just loves giving away free food to everyone because he loves sharing his passion for yummy food! 😂
I do wonder how he actually survives in business though… 🤣

Thank you, Seoul Illustration Fair, for this amazing opportunity! ❤️
What an incredible four days! I’m completely exhausted… but my heart is so full. 🥹
A huge thank you to everyone who came to visit my booth, especially all my Korean postcard fans! I was so touched by all the love and support. I even signed quite a few autographs (which is always so much fun 😆), and I loved chatting with so many of you.
One of the biggest highlights was meeting so many amazing artists. @a.cheongrin completely melted my heart. 💓 I told her how much I loved her artwork and how it reminded me of beautiful traditional Korean paintings. Then she secretly went and had one of her illustrations printed onto a T-shirt just for me. 🥺 When she handed it to me, it was still warm from the printer. Honestly… my heart melted. Thank you so, so much. I’ll treasure it forever. ❤️
I also received so many thoughtful gifts from other artists and lovely customers. Every gift, every postcard you picked up, every conversation, every smile… they all meant so much to me.
Sometimes being an illustrator can feel quite lonely—it’s just me, sitting in my studio drawing for hours every day. Then I come to a fair like this and get to meet all of you. It reminds me why I chose this career in the first place.
Thank you for supporting my little world, my silly cats, my maps, and my postcards. 🥹❤️ You are the reason I keep creating.
I came to Seoul with a suitcase full of products… and I’m leaving with a heart full of memories.
Thank you, Seoul. I’ll definitely be back. 🇰🇷❤️
Thank you, Hyper Japan, for having us back again this year! ❤️
We feel so loved and incredibly grateful to have met so many wonderful people—whether you’ve been supporting us for years or discovered us for the very first time. Thank you so much for all your love and support!
We hope to be back again next year with even more happy, yummy, kawaii goodies for you!
Until then… see you next year!
