Here, look at this, a potted story of translator Allison Wright’s life so far.

It's called Scatterlings, and the book contains 45 vignettes giving the distilled version of 50 years of existence in quite a few different countries on this Planet. Each very short story has its own cartoon illustration by me, Toni Le Busque.
You might find bits and pieces of yourself in here.
At the very least, you will find bits and pieces of Allison, and a couple of other people, too.

Have a read of the preview and then buy it.
It's a good read and you can colour in the pictures if you like.

I've done the illustrations for Allison Wright's Scatterling. It's the illustrated story of her life so far.

Late last year I wrote a comic book version of my life-Pictorial Recollections of a Life Partly Spent.
It's short and and sweet (unlike me), 80 vignettes of memorable events such as the one where, at 9 years old  on our way home from netball training, a man showed me and my friend his penis.

Now, just about ready for publication is Allison Wright's memoir- Scatterling for which I've done the illustrations.
It's the third set of memoirs I have worked and a proper happy-making experience at that.

Allison and I met online, guess where? Yeh, Facebook.
I've always found Allison interesting and eloquent and funny so when she asked me to do the illustrations for her memoir I got all excited.

We worked online on Allison’s life and now, after all the drawings and stories and conversations, I know Allison well enough to know that I really want to get to know her better. And go to Portugal where she lives.

Because drawing someone’s life isn’t just a job.
You get involved.

I was talking to Tall Lee one night and he told me he was writing his life story and that everyone should write one.
So I did.
However, I didn’t write a typical, long winded 300 page thing going into great detail about toilet training and school bullying and drunken escapades and sham marriages.

I wrote very short paragraphs and illustrated them accordingly.
Much less time consuming and much more amusing, for the author and the audience.

So now, I too think everyone should write their life story in this way.

In fact, coming soon are my friend Andrew’s The Truth, The Half Truth and Nothing Like The Truth.
He writes, I illustrate.

In the meantime, here, read some reviews of mine, Pictorial Recollections of a Life Partly Spent.

And now buy a copy.

You never know, you might be in it.
