Saturday saw the 6th annual St Ives Book Jam and I was there doing collage and drawing for the 6th time! It was another very splendid day which was as well attended by authors, illustrators and book-loving children as it always is. I helped create a huge mural curated by wonderful illustrator and author Pam Smy based on the theme of Heroes and Villains. In the afternoon I worked with the lovely and talented author-illustrators Trudi Esberger and Carolina Rabei to help children create villains, superhero masks and superhero emblems. I took charge of the villains of course; check out cat burglar Claws Malone, the dreadful Salamander of Doom and last but not least the infamous bank robber Bad Giraffe…

I love the baddies, they are brilliant! – can you do some more please?
This looks like so much fun! Looking forward to meeting you at the Arbury Book Festival, Marion, and seeing some more art in the making.
Thanks Kirsty! I had a lot of fun making them and I’m looking forward to doing lots more on Saturday – see you there 🙂
