Wowzer! It’s been a big year. I haven’t had any time to post here so, be warned - this might be a big one. I have had 5 books published this year, 2 of which I authored and 3 that I illustrated. The illustration project was huge and ate up most of the first half of the year. I did manage to write a STEM reader for Canadian publisher Rubicon in the midst of that but cannot seem to get a hold of the book online to post here. Let it be known however that Climate, an engineering reader for GL3 is out there somewhere. It was well-received by the publisher but I have no idea how the readership and subsequent purchaser Pearson felt about it. More to come on that at a later date.
Macmillan Educational commissioned me to do a series of grammar books entitled Grammar Way earlier this. I declined the offer to write them but did end up illustrating them. A few of the illustrations were shown here on a previous post - digital art using an iPad Pro, an Apple Pencil and software Procreate. The covers and a few more images are pasted below.










The Colour Thief authored by Sylvia Sikundar and I and published this year by Tulika in 12 languages was nominated for the Children’s Choice Award in India.

For those who don’t know, Procreate is an iPad app, a drawing and a painting software that provides multiple layers, media and other options to save your art in a variety of formats that can be uploaded and shared either to a desktop computer or with other networks. One of the features of Procreate that I really like is that it saves a time-lapse video of your art creation process. I’m linking to a video I just uploaded to my YouTube channel below so you can get the idea. It has been edited and sped up for brevity.

I have been working on a series of books for a publisher on the subject of English Grammar and Composition. Here are a few of the illustrations completed using Procreate.
