I bought one of your prints from Gallery 16 and it's my birthday tomorrow, do you think you'll have time to sign it or something for me? :) I can't make it to SanFranFrisco this time :(

Sorry you feel bad, It's lovely out today! (in Wodburn)

Sorry you're ill! This may not be pertinent since you were already so established as an artist when your first childrens' book came out, but, in your experience, should a book be *done* when you pitch it? How do you know what the dimensions should be and why am I letting this fear of messing up completely hold me back from even starting? ... You don't have to answer the last part 🙃

Do you ever get “writer’s block” or get into an art making funk? I feel like I’ve been in one for years despite feeling like making things makes me happy…

Also, hope you feel better soon!!

Sorry you’re unwell, and hope you feel better soon! I’m starting my career over at the grand old age of 45, and have just completed an MA in Children’s Book Illustration at the Cambridge School of Art. You did a talk for us last summer - it was ace, thank you! Now I am out in the big old scary world with competitions, trying to get book deals etc… Do you have any tips for how to deal with set backs, rejections and generally any big picture life-as-an-illustrator advice? Thanks Carson! Feel better soon. Xx
