Hello! Thanks for all the love on my birbfest illustrations! If you’re enjoying them, please head over to IG & follow me on there too 🀞 (as I keep forgetting this place exists & I’ve been trying to get past 2000 followers there for about a decade πŸ˜‚)

Drawing some of the #birbfest2026 prompts again this year - really fun! 🐦🎨 (And yes, the duck’s eye is supposed to be that far up, and his forehead that big!) #illustration #kidlitart

A middle-grade / chapter book sample I made for my portfolio. Really love the textures and characters in this one, and working in only 2 colours was challenging but really fun! 🦭 #kidlitart #childrensillustration

Work on the next one and try to forget about it πŸ˜‚. It seems to be a very slow process!

Finally finished my picturebook dummy & I'm really proud of it! If you're an editor/art director & would like to see it, let me know (or Sophie at BookEnds).
It's about a hermit crab who doesn't want to leave his shell. (And not remotely autobiographical, how dare you even suggest it πŸ‘€πŸš) #kidlitart
