A card I made for my sister, who’s the best at exploring and picking out that hitherto unseen path of creativity, beauty and unique inspiration. Happy birthday Saar! <3

I’ve been following Inktober, but times have been so busy I’ve just been putting up snaps of my drawings on my Instagram page, gah! I’ll get them up on here soon though :>

A while ago I drew some birds for my mum’s “Jackdaw’s nest” sign & propped it into position. Gotta love jackdaws!

A card I made for my sister’s birthday (today!) - a small portrait on one side, and a drawing of the ceramics witch from the short moon pots story I made for her last year. (You can read the story collected together here : > Part 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / extras )

A few months ago I got to spend a brilliant week in South Korea with one of my besties. This drawing is based on the view from our hostel room - leafy streets, mixed traditional and modern rooftops, winding streets and green, rocky mountains all around. Plus a whole bunch of birds, some more giant than others, because no landscape is complete without them.

I entered this piece into the TY Art Competition's illustration category and am really happy it was chosen as a finalist! It’ll be on show at TY Seven Dials' cafe as part of the art competition exhibition for the next six months. Looking forward to checking it out when I'm next in London : D

Mizuki Shigeru’s Seven Rules of Happiness. #7 – Believe in what you cannot see – The things that mean the most are things you cannot hold in your hand. #6 – Take it easy – Of course you need to work, but don’t overdo it! Without rest, you’ll burn yourself out. #5 – Talent and income are unrelated – Money is not the reward of talent and hard work. Self-satisfaction is the goal. Your efforts are worthy if you do what you love. #4 – Believe in the power of love – Doing what you love, being with people you love. Nothing is more important. #3 – Pursue what you enjoy – Don’t worry if other people find you foolish. Look at all the people in the world who are eccentric—they are so happy! Follow your own path. #2 – Follow your curiosity – Do what you feel drawn towards, almost like a compulsion. What you would do without money or reward. #1 – Don’t try to win – Success is not the measure of life. Just do what you enjoy. Be happy.

If there’s any of my art you’d particularly like me to put up in my shop, please let me know and I’ll see what I can do : )

Also: I had to pay quite a bit extra for customs duties/ import taxes when I bought something - maybe this is just in the UK/Europe..? I’m very sorry if this affected anyone - good to be aware of!

Little watercolour Carry On portrait/amulet/things. I basically wanted to start drawing all the characters as soon as I began reading ^^

I bought Carry On a few days ago! Here are some scrawly pen Simons, Bazs, Pennys and Agathas, all incredibly fun characters to draw.
