Hot Chips
Book illustations
Creating the books
I had the absolute joy of illustrating Hot Chips, a bright and funny kids’ book series all about family, beach days, and (of course) hot chips.
Working on this series was a dream. It’s full of Aussie warmth, cheeky humour, and colourful chaos — everything I love to draw. Each page was made to capture those little moments that make childhood feel magical: sandy feet, seagull chases, and that first bite of a hot chip.
My goal with the illustrations was to make the story feel alive and familiar. I used bold colours, expressive faces, and playful details that kids notice and parents laugh at. I wanted readers to see themselves in the story, or at least remember the smell of the beach and a paper cup of chips.
