Alex and I have been best friends since kindergarten, when we would sit at our desks and pass little love notes to one another. The few remaining people in Shepherds Glen loved to gossip, this time it was about Alex returning from the army.
But today I'm extremely happy, because of the rumors.

It used to be full of life and friendly people, and now this. Rachel has a box of copies we can send out safely now.I walked the streets of Shepherds Glen, the town was now desolate and lonely, and it wasn't like this before. Millie and my wife, Kate, are the experts in the kitchen, but our family Upside-Down Peach Cake recipe is so simple that even I can make it.ĭo you have any words of encouragement for any budding artists/illustrators/designers starting out?ĭraw what you love! Seriously - follow your interests, you never know where they might take you.Īnd on that lovely note I will say goodbye. Surprisingly, yes! I’m very good at eating but not so much at baking. Is it true that you make a mean Upside-Down Peach Cake? The fact that Muki and Pickles is a celebration of both food and books made it a perfect fit. They’ve got a wonderful diversity to their catalogue which aligns with my approach to making stuff. I’ve admired Beatnik since they started publishing. My first picture book was published in North America only and I liked the idea of making a book that New Zealanders could get their hands on. With your incredible international portfolio of work, what drew you to a niche independent publisher like Beatnik? Those greedy bunnies are a very accurate reflection of our family. Also how it’s kind of obsessed with food. I love the gentle, meandering pace of it. What do you absolutely love about this book? Needless to say it’s very exciting to now be able to release it into the wild.
I actually started on Muki and Pickles about five years ago! It’s a project I’ve worked on very slowly and intermittently in between other things. How long did it take to illustrate and write this story? Was it over a long period or done in a short burst? There’s so much food out there that people don’t even notice, let alone eat! Our family - my wife, especially - are big on foraging. On the trail were a number of rogue peach trees and the story kind of developed from there. We were on holiday in the Coromandel and going for a lot of bush walks. The story of Muki and Pickles how did this come about? (or were the characters developed beforehand?) And “Pickles” was one of Millie’s many nicknames when she was a baby. The name “Muki” was a mis-spelled version of the word “monkey” that Ella wrote when she was little.

Our favourite TV show at the time was Yo Gabba Gabba, and I think this had a visual influence on the character design. She drew them religiously! I took some of her ideas and developed them. In terms of the physical characters, Ella was really into rabbits at the time. Conversely, Ella can be quite outgoing whereas Millie is very introspective. Ella is a voracious reader Millie loves making stuff and going on adventures. The characters are a mash-up of the different personalities of my two daughters. What was the journey like creating the characters Muki and Pickles? (Is Muki the favourite?) Are they based on anyone/anything in particular? We’ve done plenty of walking and biking and enjoyed the peace and quiet of empty streets. Our kids enjoy home learning and I find it easy working from home. We’re a family of introverts so we’ve had a really nice time. The much awaited children’s book Muki and Pickles by Ross Murray is here! ?īeatnik caught up with the Mt Maunganui based artist happily enjoying the freedoms of level 2 (keep going Auckland!)ĭescribe your recent experience of lockdown with your family?
