I had so much fun leading a space art workshop at Redditch Library on Saturday! It was part of Redditch Astronomical Society's family day. I did a Q&A on illustrating An Unlikely Astronaut, and scifi author Chris Beckett also did a really interesting talk. Here are some of my favourite pics 😊✨

I'm really excited to join Redditch Astronomical Society's family day at Redditch Library on Saturday 30th August. I'll be doing a Q&A about illustrating An Unlikely Astronaut plus hosting a space art workshop for kids 👩‍🚀🎨✨

Hi Ellen 👋 I'm an amateur artist and I mostly do space art but I also do pet portraits from time to time. I've illustrated a children's book for Space Shuttle pilot Susan Kilrain, and I have a little dog called Conrad. I'm autistic and I help run S.H.E Choir Manchester 💜

I realised I never properly introduced myself since joining Bluesky! So hi 👋 I'm a self-taught artist with a particular interest in space art, and I mainly use soft pastels and acrylics. I live in Manchester (UK), I'm a tax adviser by day, and I have a little dog called Conrad ✨

We're nearly there! Day 23 of #ArtAdventCalendar and this is an acrylic painting I did in 2019 to commemorate 50 years since the Apollo program. There's something in there to represent every crewed mission - more details in the alt description ✨

Day 22 of #ArtAdventCalendar! This acrylic painting is called The Hand of Mission Control, and I painted it after meeting members of the Apollo mission control team at an ASF event. It commemorates all the hard work that went on behind the missions ✨
