Sneak peeks at my new book, ‘Brobot’

Last week I finished my new book.

The book is called ‘Brobot’ and will be released by Fremantle Press on Sept 1st, 2016.

It’s about a young inventor called Sally Tinker. She doesn’t like her baby brother Joe, so she builds a new one. She calls him Brobot. Sally thinks Brobot is just as a brother should be – but Brobot is far from perfect.

I got to write this one as well as illustrate, which was challenging and fun. Unlike the picture books I’ve worked on so far, this one is a comic book/chapter book hybrid.

Here are some behind-the-scenes sketches and finished drawings.

‘Brobot’ will be published by Fremantle Press on Sept 1st, 2016.
