COPE at GPDRR2025

I was extremely proud to be part of the team launching our newest illustrated book Climate Change at the Global Platform for Disaster Risk Reduction in Geneva last week. More info about the event can be found here.

The book was developed in collaboration with the World Meteorological Organization, UNDRR, the Oxford University, and with contributions from global experts and young people — including UNICEF East Asia and Pacific’s Youth Action Team.

bookmarks for charity

I have two bookmarks in the charity auction by Jumblebee Project that starts tomorrow in the UK. The sales will benefit Katiyo Primary School in Zimbabwe and hopefully provide them with a library full of books.

The auction runs until May 20th.

New York Times

I was interviewed for the New York Times this week, for an article about commissioning artists to make custom artwork.

It’s always nice to see my work in print, and especially to be able to speak about it. The full article is online here.

podcast interview

I recently had a conversation with André Zadorozny about mokuhanga, illustration and my career as an artist, for his podcast The Unfinished Print. You can listen to the whole interview here.

Exhibition in Palo Alto

I have two pieces in the exhibition ‘Memory Lane’ currently on show at the Pacific Art League in Palo Alto, California. The show runs for the whole of this month. More info here.

COPE and the UN

I am honoured to share that COPE, the children’s book series that I have been illustrating for several years, has been highlighted by António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, during a recent visit to Tonga. Mr Guterres joined forces with the World Meteorological Organization and METService to raise awareness about the #StateofClimate and the critical need for #EarlyWarningsForAll, particularly in the Pacific Islands. On the frontline of #ClimateChange, these islands face immense challenges from natural hazards and disasters.

You can read more about the initiative with the WMO here.

Library of Congress

I’ve just found out that my UNITED poster is held in the archives of the Library of Congress. The Library of Congress is a research library in Washington, D.C., that serves as the library and research service of the U.S. Congress and is the de facto national library of the United States.

Rosewood HK products

The Rosewood Hotel in Hong Kong have just launched the two ceramic products I designed for them: a candle and coasters. They feature a blue and white and gold illustrated map of Kowloon with lots of Rosewood elements. You can order them online here.
