Gabriel has published books with Berbay, Penguin Random House, Hardie Grant Egmont, Scholastic and Walker Books.  He runs workshops and talks in schools and libraries around Australia and has visited numerous locations – from the busy streets of Sydney (NSW) and Melbourne (VIC), to remote communities in the Australian Kimberley and Pilbara regions.  He spends the rest of his time working from a small, messy studio on a hill where he drinks tea and makes books.
