Speaking about print & community in New York (2days ago) was both an honor and a little terrifying! Facing 40 to 60 curious, energetic and brilliant teenagers - double the size of my audience — was no small task. Their incredible questions about challenges and success were sharp, thoughtful, and, harder than anything I’ve ever been asked before. 💙

Thank you Julia Holzman from for introducing me to Katie Ennis, Jenna Federico and the brilliant head of school Ivan Hageman!

An absolute highlight of the year! Sharing my love of print, illustration, and the incredible artists and neighbours I’ve been lucky enough to work with, with the amazing students at the School of Visual Arts , one of the top art and design schools in New York (and beyond!).

I was unbelievably touched by the excitement and energy in the room—so much passion for print and illustration.

Thank you, Patty, Tricia, and Spencer, for having me—already looking forward to coming back next year! 😉

Turning playtime into page-turners 🎉 Honoured to have created a magazine for the legendary - thanks to Louise Heard for trusting me with her magical brand.
(TWO print runs down, and no tantrums yet 😉)

When you create magazines with conviction and care, (no matter the size) communities connect in the most unexpected ways.

Santa’s sleigh is officially booked next week! I’ll be flying over to New York to deliver my Covent Gardener talk at the School of Visual Arts, and the East Harlem School,

And as if that wasn’t exciting enough, I’ve just secured a January visit to speak with students at Rome’s University of Fine Arts

Thrilled to be sharing thoughts on print, community, and Covent Garden with so many creative minds.

Now let’s see if Santa’s sleigh can handle my carry-on…. magazines (especially the amount I travel with) are not exactly light reading! 😜

Once I’ve done my talk, if anyone would like to see the whole presentation, very happy to share.

In under two weeks I’ll be speaking to university students at the School of Visual Arts, one of the best art schools in New York about print, illustration, community and Covent Garden.

This incredible institution is where legendary graphic designer Milton Glaser, (of I❤️NY logo fame), taught for over 50years.

Fans of The Covent Gardener will remember when the cover created for us back in 2019 was projected onto the Royal Opera House!

Am also excited to be speaking at The East Harlem Primary school. 💙

New York loves print, and by the end of my visit they will all love Covent Garden too.
