Seeing as this has only been my first year of teaching I was pretty chuffed to have won a RATA Award at Massey University, alongside some fellow colleagues.

First up, I will be teaching at Massey University this year, the Digital Illustration 2 and Illustration 2 papers. Really excited to be a part of Massey. I am so respectable!

Secondly, finally the finalists (oooh) for the Gavin Bishop Award 2013 have been made public, and I am one of them yaaaaay you can read all about it here
