Sitting in a paddling pool, trying to survive the heatwave, and coming up with terrible puns.
This is one of my favourite illustrations from Ridiculous Raps and Rhymes — written by the brilliant and, and illustrated by yours truly. ✏️
Creating this book was an absolute joy, packed with silly wordplay, outrageous characters, and plenty of moments that made me laugh out loud while drawing them.
Have you got a favourite rhyme, pun, or tongue-twister?

Completed it mate.
Long bank holiday weekend? ✅
Honestly, it feels like the PERFECT time to remind you about my forthcoming, VERY cool new picture book… ❄️🍨
Introducing Meltdown! — a brand new picture book that I had the absolute JOY of illustrating ✨
Cilla the Chinchilla runs an ice-cream van with ONE very important rule:
👉 Your ice-cream flavour MUST rhyme with your animal name.
Simple, right?
Rocky Road for Toad.
Banana for Iguana.
Fig for Pig.
…until Pig demands ROCKY ROAD 😱🍦
Suddenly everyone’s complaining, tempers are flaring, and things are getting a little… heated 🔥
Can Cilla stick to her rhyming rule?
And will Pig EVER get his Rocky Road?!
Written by the brilliant and published by, this book was an absolute treat to bring to life 🍨✨
📚 Pre-order now — guaranteed not to melt on your bookshelf 😉❄️
PLEASE NOTE: No animals were harmed in the illustrating of this book.
(However, several ice creams were eaten. Purely for ‘research’ purposes.)

Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🫶
Which meant spending several hours staring at my own face, thinking things like:
“Are my eyes always that squinty?”
and
“Do I really look that tired?”
In the end I went with a slightly more cheerful version of myself — basically me if I’d had a full 8 hours’ sleep and remembered to moisturise.
I absolutely LOVED illustrating this brilliantly bonkers book packed with poems, rhymes and total chaos from two legends.
