Reposted by Toby MorrisThe Sapling @thesaplingnz.bsky.social · 29/06/2026There's a particular magic that occurs between text and image in a great picture book ... We asked the finalists in the @nzcyabookawards.bsky.social Bookhub Picture Book Award how that magic happened: www.thesapling.co.nz/nzcya-2026-o... 152
Toby Morris @xtotl.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Yes this has been on the weekly to-do list for about 3 years, slowly chipped away at it 120
Toby Morris @xtotl.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Made myself a new website for the first time in about 15 years. Bet you $3.79 there's at least one thing on there you didn't know I drew... xtotl.com 1111132
Toby Morris @xtotl.bsky.social · 08/03/2026Last day for pre-orders for this new tee, putting the order in to the printers tomorrow morning. Big thanks to everyone who has ordered so far, appreciate it! Orders at: xtotl.bigcartel.com 096
Toby Morris @xtotl.bsky.social · 24/02/2026Sorry but AS Colour don’t do the box cut in that green. I could do a black box tee with those same ink colours as a special order, maybe dm me if that is of interest (I too am generally a dark tshirt wearer for practical reasons) 110
Toby Morris @xtotl.bsky.social · 23/02/2026A new tee - I wanted to make something positive for stormy times. I'll take pre-orders up until March 10th and print them after that. Pre-order means it takes a little longer than buying something off the shelf but it'll be custom screenprinted, sent directly from me to you. xtotl.bigcartel.com 24421
Toby Morris @xtotl.bsky.social · 20/12/2025I started it at the end of September, 2023, so there might have been a couple before that, before I started my account here 100
Toby Morris @xtotl.bsky.social · 20/12/2025So cool! I have't seen the book yet, sounds like it's great! 150
Toby Morris @xtotl.bsky.social · 20/12/2025So, today I'm wrapping up People Watching. Massive thanks to everyone who has supported it & all the cool people I've met and drawn. I wrote an article in the Sunday Magazine today talking about the lessons I've learned doing it - and there were so many. www.thepost.co.nz/culture/3609... 3223344
