Picked up my (digital) pen for the first time in six months to tell a tiny story, one day at a time during October. The full adventure is on the ‘gram, so check there tomorrow for the next instalment! #catandgulltober #inktober2025

This made me laugh so hard 😂 Tried it myself, but the output is even more illogical and a lot less funny

A quick sketch for a Monday and a reworking of a portrait from two years ago this time. Obsessed with her hair! #100dayproject

We had sun all day today in Oxfordshire, which reminded me of this lovely walk I did in the Chilterns with my partner a few years ago. Here’s to more sunny days to come…

Had a lovely day out seeing family, so rustled up a quick sketch before bed. I love these little houses, so this was a joy to draw, even when sleepy!

For today’s drawing, I redrew an illustration from last spring — it’s lovely to see how much I’ve progressed even in the last year. Practice does indeed make, well if not perfect, then definitely better!

Day Five of the #100dayproject and I’ve gone a bit wild with the red! I took a photo of this lobster while on holiday in the Isles of Scilly in 2017 and couldn’t resist giving him the digital watercolour treatment! 🦞

Lost my way a bit with this one, but I loved creating the hand drawn typewriter font. Day 4 and we’re hanging on in there!

For Day Three of the #100dayproject I’ve drawn one of my favourite buildings in London — Girdler’s Hall. You turn a corner in the City and there it is, squeezed in among modern skyscrapers

For Day 2, I finally gave proper attention to a very quick sketch from eight years ago. Alstroemeria are some of my favourite flowers — they always brighten my day, even in sketch form

The latest round of the #100dayproject started on Sunday and I’m back in the game!
My plan this year is to redraw things from my archive, starting with this coffee pot and cup combo, which I last created in collage form in 2021.

Happy New Year everyone! Posting a little #artvsartist to wrap up 2024. It was a hard year for lots of reasons, but there were splashes of joy, including making a few illustrations I really loved. These are not necessarily my most popular drawings, but they are some of my faves.

Happy #nationalillustrationday everyone! I’ve been in a bit of an illustration slump lately, so sharing a few drawings from earlier in the year to remind myself I can actually draw 😅 #kidlit #illustrator

This is such a lovely thread! It’s so nice to see the red books popping up in so many different styles of illustration 📕
(And if you’re ever looking for something a little whimsical, I love drawing readers and their books…)
