Thank you! Aww ha ha, yes the gulls do look like they're enjoying themselves. It must be the sea air!

Thank you Jackie. I produced the illustration from a photo I had taken whilst in Cornwall. I loved the view from where I was standing and enhanced it by adding seagulls flying over the sea and in thedistance.

The harbour at St.Ives is particularly spectacular. The cobbled streets, restaurants, boats, beaches and colours are all great. You definitely have to watch out for greedy seagulls though!

Decided to draw people today. It's still an area I feel I need to concentrate on, to get out of my comfort zone.

01 of #septempera! A fancy goat.

Got a bit overambitious for the time I had but it turned out okay I think. Added some crayons too.

Hello! I have a new picture book coming out! The Butterfly House, will be published by @andersenpress.bsky.social on 9th Oct 2025, and is available to preorder now, from @waterstoneskids.bsky.social & all good bookshops!

www.waterstones.com/book/the-but...

A book cover reveal for Harry Woodgate's next author-illustrator picture book, The Butterfly House. The book cover features a colourful hand-drawn illustration, made with acrylic and watercolour paint, ink, pastel, pencil, pen and other materials. The illustration depicts two children (both white, a girl with blonde hair wearing a blue polo shirt and grey skirt holding her hand up to a butterfly, and a boy with short brown hair wearing a blue polo shirt, grey shorts and brown rucksack) in front of a metal framed greenhouse in a lush garden filled with colourful plants, flowers and butterflies. Above, in the sky, the title reads 'The Butterfly House' in teal green hand-lettering. Below, in the grass, is the author name and a subtitle: 'Winner of the British Book Award and Waterstones Children's Book Prize'. The book cover is in the centre of the image. Around it are more illustrated butterflies, as well as a promotional line which reads 'Out 9th October 2025, available to preorder now'.
