Hello! I'm Emily, an artist from Surrey, UK.

I love to illustrate flora, fauna and folklore! ✒️🐉

A black and white ink illustration of a pumpkin kid sat on a fallen log in a clearing in a birch wood. Two little hedgehogs approach from the left and look up at the kid. Eyes glow in-between the trees in the shadows. Is something else there? A photograph of a black and white ink illustration with a Staedtler pigment liner resting on top. A flood dragon poses to be drawn on top of a pile of books on the artist's desk. A black, white and silver ink and watercolor illustration of a Selkie transforming into a seal infront of a full moon. The body of the seal follows the shape of the moon and a woman's hand pulls a seal head towards her head like a hood. A black and white ink illustration of a cat dragon.

We’re snailposting! Post your snails! :D

Some very old snail art was all that’s on my phone apparently, so here are some real snails to supplement it! And yes, that’s a slug hitching a ride on the snail’s shell in the third pic!

Snowman Wizard knows what time it is, but the cemetery squirrels aren’t ready to let go of Halloween just yet.
A snowman wizard holds up his staff as two ghost squirrels fly about. There are gravestones in the background.

I had the pleasure of doing a group commission for my dear friend @j-kenny.bsky.social and his D&D group of their 'Tyrants Bane' campaign. It is my first time working on such a large project with so many characters! This was a really big learning opportunity for me, I had so much fun. ❤️

#D&D
A group of D&D characters all together in one image. Featuring a Uruk - half orc, Venali - human, Calliope - tiefling, Klink the kobold and his son Gizmo, Yvraine - water genasi, Eigyr - Aasimar/Aarakocra, Alta - Aasimar. Looking over all of them is their DM Dom with a tome.

We had a great time at the Lionsheart Bookshop Halloween and Christmas arts and crafts fair on Saturday!

Here's the picture of our stall from the Lionsheart Bookshop's Instagram page.

A screenshot of a picture from the Lionsheart Bookshop Instagram page. The photograph shows a family of three standing behind an arts and crafts stall. Behind them are bookshelves with the bookshops boxes. On the stall there are an assortment of wooden carvings, mini polymer clay sculptures in glass terrariums, cards, books, stickers, felt decorations, original art and pin badges.

QRP with some dangerous woman art 🪓
An acrylic painting of a ghostly killer bride holding an axe emerging from a coffin shaped opening. A raven is perched on the handle of the axe and a black widow spider is crawling up the head. Apparitions of a hatbox, and wedding cake topper with a headless groom, a floating candelabra, and 5 wedding rings and gems are floating around the boarder. This painting was inspired the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland.

I just made this little artist introduction to add to the last slide on my Etsy listings! I get reviews every now and then about people being happy to have found something not A👁️ on there, especially desktop wallpapers, so I thought I'd make it a bit clearer that I make everything on there myself :)
A little graphic introducing me as an artist, with the text: "About the artist! My name is Jessica Elena, and everything you see in this shop was made with my own two hands! The brushes and art alike, mostly with digital tools. I’ve been making art in some way for as long as I can remember, and love spreading joy through silly and whimsical drawings. I’m also very passionate about the fact that everyone can be an artist! For me having encouraging voices around me as well as the freedom of digital art really helped me get over my fear of learning to draw! Hugs to you all! Jessica" There is also a photo of my face, and a little drawing of a cat artist. The background is a floral drawing with lots of mushrooms as well.

Some recent hens. They do look good together like this. 🐔

Friendly reminder that I have a Ko-fi by way of a tip jar, if you enjoy my work and would like to send a little material support. Thank you so much to everyone who contributes. ☺️🥲🙏💙

Four small silhouette drawings in black ink, each about the size of a business card, of a hen encountering another small animal in each one: a dragonfly, a frog, a wren, and a squirrel.

It would appear not all of the inhabitants have left this crumbling cottage... 🏚️

Decrepit domicile #Guild11Mysterium

A photograph of a yellow and black striped pencil resting on a sketchbook page with a light blue ribbon. The pencil illustration is of a crumbling cottage with stony walls and a thatched roof that looks like it was abandoned by its makers long ago. Not all inhabitants have left though...an eye peers from the darkness behind the tilted, broken door and shadowy tentacles can be seen emerging from the rubble of the collapsed wall on the right side of the page.

The goblin train is leaving the station, all aboard the goblin train!
A photograph of a pencil and a blue ribbon resting on a small sketchbook page. The page has an illustration of a little goblin with curly hair smiling. The goblin is wearing a striped pointy hat, a stripey t-shirt and shorts. They are sat on a cushion in a little wooden cart holding on to a piece of rope attached to the cart. The cart has a hook at the front to attach to the previous goblin carriage and a loop at the back to attach the next one! Art by Emily Jane Foster.

In crimson, orange and bronze, autumn had arrived.
Fox had spent a rather enjoyable morning searching for the perfect collection of leaves.
She'd finally found it.
With a joyful soul and playful heart, she jumped.
In one fine leap, she pounced to catch her shadow.
