Happy New Year and all the very best for a healthy, happy and creative 2025. Like many of my fellow artists, I have returned to my Substack journal to document my creative journey in 2025.
But first… New Year New Resolutions right? Well for the first time ever I might have just managed to keep one. Last year, I decided not to buy any more sketchbooks until I'd filled one and here it is! Looking back through it I can see I have created a visual diary of my character development. Some of the characters within the sketchbook may never make it of the pages of a picture book, but there are definitely some characters that I have already written stories for and for whom I can’t wait to develop more.
So 2025. Do I have a resolution for this year? Well yes I do. Some of my characters within the sketchbook deserve to have their story told. For the next few months, I will be developing and editing my stories with the intention to present at least a couple of them to agents and publishers at the Bologna Book Fair this year.
Lets do this :)
