    THRILLED that my copies of Twice Upon a Time by Michelle Harrison have arrived. It was such a privilege to work on this book, I enjoyed every minute! Fun fact, every internal was painted in @Procreate! Thanks to @simonkids_UK for having me 💖 ✨ 🕰️ ✨

    ‘Stop the boats!’ they’re chanting here in Plymouth. It’s Britain’s Ocean City, all we’ve got is boats. Thick as mince this lot.

    PLEASE tell me someone else remembers the craze in school where you put your crisp packets in the oven to shrink them and turn them into key rings

    I’ve been quiet lately, I realise 😄 but I’ve started painting again and I’m teaching myself how to use gouache. Here’s the first proper painting I’ve done using it! #gouache #painting

    Isn’t it super handy how these birds have arranged themselves in gradient order? @Procreate

    God the Huw Edwards thing is awful. The three murdered girls - AWFUL. Recently another three women were murdered by a man with a crossbow. Men - can you collectively stop all your shit please. I don't want to hear 'not all men' because obviously. But still ENOUGH men.

    Quite a few people missing the point here. If there is not enough water to keep FOOD crops surviving, there is not enough water for keeping grass green on a golf course.

    To round off my cover redesigns, I’ve saved the creepiest for last 😄 I LOVED The Shining by Stephen King, it was genuinely scary (let’s not talk about the menagerie please!), so this was a fun one. Happy new year to you all! 😘 #painting #art #illustration #book #bookcover

    My #colour_collective this week is based around the Victorian language of flowers. I’ve been feeling a bit anxious lately (haven’t we all), so the hellebore means ‘tranquillise my anxiety’ and the hawthorn branches mean ‘hope’. All painted in @Procreate #procreate #illustration

    Can’t stress HOW IMPORTANT it is for authors to CREDIT their illustrators. Especially when they’re using said illustration to advertise a book they have written. This is still a thing and authors need to be aware of it. #picturesmeanbusiness
