Author Sue Author Sue Korean cool!
Ok, so this is pretty awesome. I came home to find a parcel full of Korean editions of ‘Bob and Rob’…it looks so amazingly kitsch, I LOVE it – thank you Frances Lincoln! I’m going to give a copy to my local Korean supermarket, they’re always so friendly in there and maybe they’ll swap for some Kimchi or something? : )
Author Sue Digital demo
My first ever interactive drawing demo went down a treat. I explained to the kids how I use my tablet and stylus to sketch characters, draw layouts and bring them to life with digi paint.
Author Sue Cambridge shortlist award
I didn’t win this time but being shortlisted for my debut book is still pretty awesome! And as I’d never been to Cambridge before, it meant I could stay a few days and explore – if there’s one word to describe this town, it would be ‘picturesque’.
Author Sue Hallgrímskirkja Church
Just about every word in Iceland is totally unpronouncable, so it’s good to have landmarks to guide you around. Couldn’t miss this one, right outside our hotel in Rekjavik. You can see it from almost everywhere in the city. The designer was inspired by lava cooling into basalt rock.
Author Sue Alien invasion
What exactly does an alien look like? At my latest drawing workshop the kids went into creative hyperdrive and came up with some stellar ideas:
Author Sue Cosmic capers
Out now, my second picture book ‘When Angus met Alvin‘, is about a well behaved alien and an unbelievably naughty one. Well, you can guess how much they get on each other’s nerves…until one teaches the other a lesson ha!
Author Sue Parcel of pictures
A surprise came through the post from a group of yr1 children I gave a workshop to. They had put their characters into stories and compiled them into wonderful books, just for me!
Author Sue Bob and Rob – shortlisted
This is the first time I’ve been nominated for an award and it’s for my first picture book – voted for by the young readers. I’ve never been to Cambridge either (that’s where the prize giving will be in June). Lots of firsts for me here – so excited!
Author Sue Observer review
My publicist emailed me this clipping from the July Observer. Not only was it a great review, but ‘Bob & Rob’ was compared to one of the most celebrated burglar books ever; Allan Ahlberg’s ‘Burglar Bill’. Career pinnacle…check!
