So next week I’m heading off on my second set of cruise ship gigs. I actually really hate being away from my kids. I love them of course, but I also really like them. I enjoy their company. I love being together. Don’t get me wrong, I also have periods where a little break away is the stuff my dreams are made of, but for the most part, I actually really dislike being apart.

So I had this nutty idea a little while ago to do a bit of a collab with my 7-year old daughter. She does the background however she damn pleases with absolutely no input from me whatsoever, then hands it over at will to inspire wherever I want to go from there. In other words, I’m like a mixed media Mister Squiggle! The man from the moon! (Apologies to non-Aussie peeps who won't get this) This is our first one, whaddya think?
