Halloween approaches! I've been using my free time

Halloween approaches! I've been using my free time in the evening to sew a couple of "Demon Guardian" costumes, featuring big horns and leds all around the edges. Here are some llamas in their spookiest costumes! (From a calendar I did a few years ago for Rock Point) #illustration #halloween #llama #illustrator #calendarillustration #spooky #costumes #illustrationartists

Halloween season has officially begun, and it's time to let yourself get spooked among the autumn leaves and stars.... (This little squirrel is wondering whether a scary creature from a land of snow and frost is going to pounce!

It is SO grey and rainy outside. And cold!! The only good part is that it's time to get COZY! Fires in the fireplace, and drinking hot cocoa, as seen here from the excellent Hot Cocoa Calm, written by @kirawilley and published by @rodalekids (and illustrated by me!)... It's full of cozy woodland animals and autumn vibes. #illustration #illustrator #autumn #autumnvibes #cozy #hotcocoa #kidlit #kidlitart #kidlitartist #picturebook #picturebookillustration #childrensbooks #childrensbookart #childrensbookartist #mindfulness #mindfulnessmoment

Today I fell down a rabbit hole playing with the pattern preview in Photoshop, and made this pattern based on one of the most popular of my flower pictures. So fun to play with! I don't know why I didn't do it sooner. #illustrator #surfacedesign #surfacepatterndesign #floral #floralpattern #colorful #illustration #photoshop #patterndesign #pattern #surfacepattern

Hello! After a nice long trip to the US for August, with many adventures and wonderful quality time with family and friends, I am home and back to reality! I'm ready for the coziness of autumn, fires in the wood burner, and lots of drawing. #illustration #illustrator #illustratorsofig #drawing #home #cozy #cozyhome #cozyvibes #colorful #colourful

It was the second of our two July birthdays last Friday, that of our super Sabrina, who turned 6! We had a lovely weekend celebrating such a special and amazing girl, and I illustrated her this birthday card. It's a fennec fox, one of her favorite animals, surrounded by gems of all colors, because she loves a bit of bling. Happy Birthday to Sabrina and all other July 19th babies out there! #illustration #illustrator #greetingcards #greetingcardillustration #fennecfox #cuteanimalillustration #colorful #gems #happybirthday #childrensillustration #childrensillustrator #illustrationart #illustrationartists #ukillustrator #happy

Snake birthday card! I made this for my darling Em

Snake birthday card! I made this for my darling Emmett who turned 8 last weekend. And what an amazing 8 year old he is! He's loved snakes for a while now, so it seemed like a good thing to make a birthday card about 🐍 #illustration #illustrator #illustrationartists #illustrationart #snakeillustration #greetingcards #greetingcardillustration #colorful #bright #handlettering #handlettered

A few weeks ago we went camping at the @darlingwoodsofmay near York and it was SO lovely! One of the best parts were the adorable, fuzzy alpacas who live there. The kids loved saying good morning and good night to them each day, and they added a certain magic to an already beautiful, peaceful campsite. They reminded me of the llama calendars I illustrated for @quartobooksus , full of quirky llamas like this one surrounded by flowers. I just love their deep soulful eyes. #illustration #illustrator #camping #llamas #alpacas #llamaillustration #alpacart #colorful #calendarart #calendarillustration

A pic from my archives... I always think of this one as I dodge snails cruising across my path when I'm on a walk. They look so determined. Go little snails! #illustration #illustrator #illustrationartists #illustrationart #colorful #colourful #snail #summer #handlettering #handlettered #drawing

A really good day! This is the new illustration I created for the card A Really Good Day, part of the Breathe Like a Bear mindfulness deck, written by the amazing @kirawilley and which was published recently by @clarksonpotter . I was just writing about this wonderful deck for my blog, thinking about the creative process. When I sat down to illustrate this super mindfulness exercise, where we envision a really good day from start to finish, I thought about what counts as a really good day for my family. I landed on playing games with friends, outside in the sunshine, with a beautiful rainbow overhead. And then I had fun drawing just that! Does that sound like a really good day to you? #illustration #illustrationart #illustrator #childrensillustration #childrensillustrator #picturebookillustration #mindfulness #mindfulnessforkids #colorful #colourful #rainbows #sun

Life is so much nicer when butterflies are flutter

Life is so much nicer when butterflies are fluttering by. I saw some in the Lakes last weekend that I've never seen before! Not as colorful as these made-up ones, but almost. #illustration #illustrator #butterflies #estyuk #etsy #printsforsale #colorful #art #butterflyart #butterflyillustration #bugs #summer

Whether you're celebrating Memorial Day in the US

Whether you're celebrating Memorial Day in the US or the Bank Holiday in the UK, I hope your long weekend includes lots of sunshine and ice cream! Ok, there may not be THAT much sunshine in the UK, but we'll have to make up for it with even more ice cream 😁 (PS This Iguana with an ice cream is one of 26 Alphabet Animals I illustrated, available as prints in my Etsy shop, link in bio!) #illustration #childrensillustrations #childrensbookillustration #icecream #drawings #alphabet #alphabetanimals #iguana #colorful #colorfulillustration #wallart #printsforsale #etsy #etsyuk #illustrator #illustratoruk
