My mum’s powerful & thought provoking artwork is on show at the Hype Gallery in Leigh-on-Sea. I couldn’t be more proud 🥰

Just taken a FrecciaRossa high speed train from Rome to Florence. A distance of about 275km (~170 miles). It took 1hr 36 mins and only cost me €23. Not to mention comfortable seats, decent fast WiFi, clean toilets. We’re being absolutely conned in the UK with rail fares 🤦🏻‍♂️

An amazing Ash costume, complete in his Festival of a Thousand Fires attire! SO cool!

Happy World Book Day everyone!

I hope your day is filled with reading the things YOU want to read!

Three Arcanists, ready to lead Arkspire into a glorious future!

Pretty much sums it up.

I LOVE Struan’s books so this is incredibly exciting!

In general, I’m not a fan of live-actionizing animated stories. It *can* be done well — with a bold creative team, a healthy budget, and a new conceptual take on the material, but usually it just ends up highlighting how expressive animation is.

Less than a week to go until our FREE virtual event for KS2 with Laura Ellen Anderson for our Reading for Pleasure Book Club with Collins Primary. Come and join us to hear more about Laura's latest book, Marnie Midnight and the Moon Mystery🌛
