A school commute and my first winner!

So I'm entering the 3rd week since I started working for the Phuket News on their mega exciting weekly colouring competition. I'm really enjoying this job as it gets me drawing all the things I love about Phuket! I also get sent all the entries from schools around Phuket and I have to say there's some good little artists out there!  

This weeks image was inspired by my daily ventures out on the moped.
The streets here are full of kids on their way to and back from school, often sitting in a little side-car of some sort. So cute!

Last weeks win goes to 9 year old Laura from Darasamuth School.
I loved her clever reflection of the hills in Dogs sunglasses and the rainbow T. Brill!

The Phuket Colouring Competition

This week i'm delighted to say I have a new illustration commission out here in Phuket.
With thanks to my lovely neighbour and editor of the Phuket News, I'll be providing an illustration a week for kids to colour in and I'll be judging and featuring the best entries!

I'm really excited about this new opportunity as ever since I got here I've felt totally inspired by this place! First up for the kids to colour in is a dog. There are so many around Phuket and their little characters may just be my new obsession!

A little fellow who caught my eye...
