Very stoked to tell you that my People Watching project is being collected into a book. 956 drawings of 1462 awesome people from all around Aotearoa. Out November 3rd, from @AllenAndUnwinNZ . Thanks to everyone I drew, can't wait for everybody to see it.

Made myself a new website for the first time in about 15 years, done a few things since then. Bet you $3.79 there's at least one thing on there you didn't know I drew... xtotl.com

Just wanted to say thanks again

So, today I'm wrapping up People Watching. Massive thanks to everyone who has supported it & all the cool people I've met and drawn. I wrote an article in the Sunday Magazine today talking about the lessons I've learned doing it - and there were so many. thepost.co.nz/culture/360919…

You might have seen that Siouxsie won her legal battle against UoA, but even after the damages were awarded she ended up massively out of pocket. So she's asking for help - There's been lots of support already, which is cool to see - Siouxsie deserves it! pledgeme.co.nz/projects/8521…
