The Aussie children\u2019s author and illustrator conquering the USA and Hollywood:
\nThe ten year journey that led to his overnight success.<\/strong><\/p>\n

His books have been called \u201cexcruciatingly funny,\u201d \u201cclever and witty,\u201d and a \u201csheer joy.\u201d Now the world is knocking quite voraciously on the door of Australian children\u2019s author and illustrator, Aaron Blabey, all wanting a piece of his creative genius. Not only are children (and adults) devouring his books globally, it has just been confirmed that Hollywood is now turning The Bad Guys<\/a> book series into a film!<\/p>\n

If the name Aaron Blabey<\/em> sounds familiar, it\u2019s because it is. In 1998, Blabey acted in The Day of the Roses, <\/em>and the following year in Erskineville Kings<\/em> alongside Hugh Jackman and Joel Edgerton. Human Touch<\/em> soon followed in 2004. He also starred in the ABC series The Damnation Of Harvey McHugh<\/em>, for which he won an AFI award. Not bad for someone who has said, \u201cI was terrible at acting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t\t
