This year I'm taking on @cancerresearchuk.org's Big Hike Marathon. Last year the Big C came into my families life, and although we used words like 'it's not the worst one', all Cancer is Cancer. Any donations would be greatly appreciated. 💗 Here's a link to my fundraising page: shorturl.at/CidXC

Happy World Bear Day for yesterday! It inspired me to try and create a piece of artwork in just a couple of hours, which is hard for me. I wanted to keep that looseness from not overworking an illustration and I hope it’s worked. #kidlitart #illustration #kidlitUK

Helping Hand 🦭 - Sometimes when we feel like we’re drowning, we just need a helping hand. Revisited an old portfolio piece and tweaked a few things such as the child’s face and made the colour palette more vibrant, less pastel. What do you think? #kidlitart #drawing #illustration

🍪 Tough Cookie Is 10 🍪 I can’t believe that the first book I even illustrated, is 10 years old! To celebrate I dug some original artwork out from the archives. It’s my first (and last) book that I painted traditionally with acrylic! Forever grateful to everyone who helped make this book. #kidlitart
