FIRST NEWS POST FOR A WHILE

Er, I don’t seem to have updated this section of my website for a while. Oops. So here’s a summary of the last 18 months-worth of news.

Then a global pandemic struck, and so I decided to make some draw-along videos. #DrawWithRob proved to be quite popular, garnering millions of views across the world, international tv and media exposure (including episodes airing on CBBC), several prestigious accolades (including a Point of Light award from 10 Downing Street) and two bestselling, award-winning activity books (Sainsbury’s Children’s Book Award 2020, WHSmith November 2020 Book fo the Month)…

RIght. I feel better for that. Hopefully you won’t have to wait 18 months for the next update .
