(Ok, the pinecones look a bit like artichokes!)

A tucan of gratitude?

At the moment I'm in the process of sorting through all of my old things, and I've found a few masterpieces that the world needs to see! I should probably mention that I've always mildly obsessed over both drawing and cats, drawing cats especially. Emily, aged 6 - 8 years.

A quick illustration for you... Run Pear, run!

Hi Bloggers, apologies - long time no post. Big news: I've officially finished my degree in Illustration! I've been enjoying Cornwall's one (and only?) week of sunshine, but rest assured I'm still drawing and writing. Last week the Degree Show went up, and I thought I'd share a few snaps. The Falmouth FineArt and Illustration Degree Show is open Sat 15th - Wed 19th June if you happen to be down in Cornwall and *spoiler alert* the show is looking pretty darn good. Do pop along, it would be great to see you!

Sometimes I forget to share my drawings and scribbles, which is bonkers because I draw all the time. I've scanned a few pages from my diary, hope you enjoy / are interested!  (drawings are mostly straight from my head, and a few observational-ish)

Yesterday was an exciting day because copies of the 'Illustrated Book of Quotes and Sayings' finally arrived! Its nice to see my zoo  illustration in a book. I'll be toting copies around London next week, hopefully finding a few nice new homes. Its a super cool book, show casing Falmouth Illustration students. Everyone should buy a copy. :-)

Hi Bloggers! I thought it was about time to post my latest picture book, incidentally the last book of my degree. Dum dum duuum! I had fun making this one. It sounds cheesy, but I found writing it came naturally. Although I should probably add it is only 50 words long. The story stars a small, quiet, borderline obsessive-compulsive cat called Mini and a large, loud, undeniably mucky pup named Max. They have their ups and they have their downs, but despite all their differences they still remain the best of friends. Life is a bumpy road, right? NB: Mini and Max are 100% inspired by my good friends Max and George . Credit where credit is due.

I really fancied doing Illustration Friday this week, haven't done it in a while.  This super motivated cat is training hard! www.illustrationfriday.com

Want to hear something pretty darn scary? I'm now in my last ever term at uni. I've somehow managed to pull together everything a budding illustrator might need: Website Business Cards Promo Sheets Portfolio Dummy Books I think I'm just about ready to do this thing! Stay tuned for more info about upcoming exhibitions and design shows...
