I like to draw on little things, like pebbles, and really quite big things, like walls and fibreglass creatures. And stuff in between, too! https://linktr.ee/christinejoplingillustration

Here's Tufty - my first ever needle felting ....thing! Had a brilliant time at a workshop at @sunnybankmills.bsky.social run by the amazing Heather and Leigh from Pyramid Arts. Thank you both for your inspiration and kind helpfulness.💙💗💜 And for the plaster!😊
Uh oh - I've been skip-diving! Found this nice box, rescued it, used up a load of old acrylic paint on it and tested out some new pens! #reuse #upcycle #skipdiver #makingstuff #monsters #doodling
That peanut worm is a little too exciting for me you got anything else?
🐰Adventures in Gosforth! What a great place for Fluffle to be on the #TalesOnTheTyne trail! We had a great few days in Newcastle filling our sticker book up with Peters... The trail is still on, until 14th September. 🖤Finally revealed... (swipe to see)...Newcastle's famous bunny, immortalised!😄
Here’s my bunny - “A Fluffle of Rabbits” - in the process of being painted in my trusty shed. I had a fab time spending a few weeks in there, just painting daft fluffy bunnies! “Fluffle” is now on Gosforth High Street, part of the brilliant #TalesOnTheTyne trail by Wild in Art and St. Oswalds.

We've got a few prints in Riso Show 3, a group exhibition at Atelier Beside the Sea in Brighton. It's a really nice show of riso prints and it's free to get in, well worth a visit if you like that kind of thing.
The lovely Zoe Power kindly let me tag along as an "assistant" while she created this amazing mural. I tackled tiny dots at great height😬 & straight lines on a very lumpy surface🤪! Huge thanks to Zoe for her patience, knowledge and kindness and to Project Farsley for the brilliant opportunity!😘

Horses. Up there with bicycles as the bane of many an artist. However, I figured out a foolproof way of drawing them, and I want to share that with you! 😊

Nice to hear that the South Bank Centre has been Grade II listed. Here’s a few of my South Bank drawings from a few years ago.
BREAKING NEWS: We’re absolutely thrilled to announce that the Southbank Centre - the Hayward Gallery, Purcell Room, Queen Elizabeth Hall and skaters undercroft - has finally been Grade II listed by DCMS after a 35 year long campaign. ➡️ c20society.org.uk/news/southba...
This is fun. You should go draw horsies instead of whatever it is you're meant to be getting on with*. gradient.horse *That's a lie. If you have important things to do don't listen to me. But this is cute.

✏️🎨2025!😀 Quiet to start with, a bit mad at the end, but I’ve done a lot of doodling and I’m extremely grateful for that! Thank you to all the lovely people who have allowed me to scribble for them and let me do my thing, and the wonderful Scrap for keeping me sane (?!). 📸 Snowdogs: © David Oates
![[Scene is heaven, in clouds. JESUS, acting as God’s PA, is briefing God, a big ball of light with arms sat at an executive desk, with a computer on it].
Jesus [holding a tablet computer]:
OK, so -
The next one to check in on is…
‘Earth’.
God: Spelling?
Jesus: E-A-R-T-H.
[God types into the computer]
tap-tap-tap-tap-tap. Tap.
God: F—ing hell.
What’s happened here!?
We need to complain - get me the manager.
Jesus: Uh, well, the most powerful one is…
[Jesus turns his iPad round to show God. We can’t see the screen]
God: What is that.
I mean, it’s been a while but that’s definitely not how I designed them. Are you sure we’ve got the right planet?
Jesus: Yes, this is the… top human.
God: Off and on it again
Jesus: I’ll book the meteor
