I like to draw on little things, like pebbles, and really quite big things, like walls and fibreglass creatures. And stuff in between, too!

Hello! I'm an illustrator from Pudsey, Leeds.

I like drawing and painting on many and varied surfaces!

Please check out my website to see more images (see linktree above). You can also find me at @CJoplingIllo on Instagram.

Nice to meet you!
Here's Barnaby!

It was a lot of fun helping make him last year for the Farsley Lantern Parade, along with a host of other crafty folk. Will he return this year?🤔 It's going to be a bigger parade than ever... only a couple of days to go now!🤩 Last lantern-making day today!😱

I really can't express exactly how overwhelmingly happy I am at @cjoplingillo.bsky.social's illustrations for my writing for @camraofficial.bsky.social's Learn & Discover platform.

They just completely gel with the tone I use and really make my writing pop.

Just got my DACS royalty payment through and I thank God for this organisation 🙏. If you're an artist who's had stuff published in books/magazines/TV/film and you haven't claimed DACS Payback Scheme before, do it for next year! It's free money, and you're owed it

My first graffiti! 💨

What a brilliant workshop, organised by Project Farsley at @sunnybankmills.bsky.social and hosted by the super-interesting and enthusiastic Jai. 😊

Here I am, proudly under my letter G, with fellow students Sarah and Finn. Not bad for a first attempt, eh? 😄
