Some people get angry when you mention Christmas before December, but some of us like to plan well ahead. So here are my Christmas cards! 🎄

Inspired by retro glass decorations and riso printed for that lush, dotty texture. I had lots of fun drawing these. Find them in my Etsy. 💌
Three colourful riso printed Christmas cards are displayed on a vibrant background of red, pink, green, and purple paper. Each card features a retro style ornament illustration in bright, bold colours like blue, pink, orange, and purple. The cards are designed like postage stamps, with scalloped edges. Red envelopes accompany each card, and festive and stationery elements such as red ribbon, a pencil, and glittery gold decorations are scattered around, enhancing the Christmas theme.

I did a big, scary thing and took part in the Summer Makers Market @fargovillage.bsky.social in Coventry! It was great to be back at it, and I got a real buzz from chatting to everyone who came to visit. Can't wait to do more. 💌

A smiling woman with long light brown hair and clear-framed glasses sits at a market stall filled with colourful illustrated prints and greeting cards. She's wearing a light grey sweatshirt featuring a large graphic of a cat. In front of her are neatly displayed prints, including bright floral and postage stamp inspired designs in pastel colours. Behind her, other vendors and visitors are visible in a warmly lit indoor venue with wooden walls and playful paper decorations hanging from the ceiling. The atmosphere is cheerful and creative.

I've made a Trans Solidarity riso print. You can get it in A6, A4 and A3. Some money from each print will be donated to Mermaids.

A riso print laying flat on pink and yellow paper. The print features some flowers that symbolise queer identities, pansies at the bottom, lavander in the middle and carnations and roses at the top. The top flowers are broken by white text that reads TRANS SOLIDARITY. The print background is also white.

More than ever, trans people need our support. As rights are rolled back and rhetoric hardens, its so important to stand in solidarity. So, obviously, I made a sticker.

A wee drawing from a few months back. Inspired by the theme "Tools of the Trade".

#illustration #artist #toolsofthetrade
A bright, overlapping line drawing of various tools including scissors, a hammer, a square ruler, and pliers. The tools are outlined in shades of blue and teal, with textured fills and transparent overlays, creating a layered and abstract composition.

My first ever attempt at making paper! All made from waste paper I'd gathered over the past week. The main lesson learnt today is that it is very hard to dry the paper. 🙃 It looks banging already though!

#handmadepaper #artist
Handmade paper sheets drying on a blue and brown tartan tablecloth. The paper is textured and rough edged, with white sheets containing colourful confetti style flecks and two bright green sheets visible. Handmade paper sheets drying on a vibrant, tropical print fabric with green and blue leaf patterns. The paper includes both earthy brown sheets with colourful flecks and bright green sheets with white speckles.

Last year, I was ambitious and wanted to create a stamp collection based around Derry, my wee hometown. This oakleaf stamp was all I managed but am desperate to get back to it!

#derry #doire #illustration
An illustrated sticker styled like a postage stamp, featuring a detailed green oak leaf with visible vein patterns set against a bright blue background. The stamp has perforated edges, a '1st' class marking in the bottom right corner, and a faint airmail postmark design in the top left corner.

A wee sketchbook page from a while back. Not my usual colours but this was defs a fun experiment. It lives in a sketchbook made from super thick handmade paper, which is a dream to use. ☁️ ☀️
The right side of a sketchbook, flatlayed. The artwork fills the entire page and features a zentangle/geometric abstract painting with yellow, pink and lilac hues.

Here's a wee toad I screen printed back in 2023. I'd love to do more analogue printing this year as it just looks so good. All the wee mistake that's happen make the best art.
A screen printed toad. It has a white body with neon orange details. The background is a solid sky blue with the white border of the page surrounding.

A wee sketchbook flatlay from a last year. Nothing makes me happier than getting the supplies out and having a play. I love this paper, it's like painting on a cloud.
A flatlay of a sketchbook placed on a wooden table. The left page is mostly blank except for a small painting test of pink, white and blue in simple blobs. The right page is a geometric pattern featuring the aforementioned colours.

I've drawn a new stamp. 🌿 Join A Union 🌿

I'm working on a wee collection of trade union themed artwork at the moment. If you're not in a union, consider this your sign to join one! It's important to have that support and the community that forms around it.

Spent my Sunday afternoon working on this Irish travel sticker. 🍀 I used to see lots of this kinda thing when I lived in Galway - usually on a motorbike.

This is Bubbles, "Bub" to his friends. He joined the household in June and is absolutely my 2024 highlight.
The most gorgeous Staffordshire Bull Terrior is looking up with loving eyes. He has a brindle coat and is standing on a neglected concrete paving.

Bluesky, I've been selling this print for the last few months. A few bob from each sale goes to Medical Aid for Palestinians. Find it and a wee sticker version in my sh🌼p.
A drawing. It is a stamp with keffiyeh patterns and an olive branch inside. The colours are the same as the Palestinian flag colours. Underneath the stamp, it reads FREE PALESTINE.

My intention here was to design some deranged cleaning product packaging, but actually, most cleaning packaging has even more sinister warning labels. 🫠
Faux product design print of 'Sparkle Floor Cleaner' with dark humour phrases like 'Guaranteed to kill your pets.'

Thoroughly enjoying this - lots of perspectives I've not thought about before! Reading more nonfiction about the weird wee place I'm from is a 2025 goal.
Northern Protestants On Shifting Ground by Susan McKay is laying on a wonderful table. A large Lundy effigy takes up the majority of the cover space.

Normally, the Xmas build-up feels really stressful, but I've been taking it slow this year and doing fun crafts like painting my own wrapping paper.
Two wrapped rectangular presents with bright pink and orange tartan paper. They're stacked and set against some pale pink, check fabric.

I am reminiscing over my uni days today. Here are a couple of sketchbook spreads from those days. Uni was so stressful for me because I took it way too seriously! #sketchbook
An open sketchbook with a painting of blue pebbles covering both pages, set against a yellow background. An open sketchbook with an abstract painting of blue stones painted across both pages. The background is yellow.

Hello! My name's Jamie. I'm an artist and an all-around crafty gal based in Leamington Spa. 🎨 🧶

I make a lot of digital art, but am currently trying to break away from my iPad so that I can spend more time in my analogue sketchbook!

Have a nosy at some of my work below. 💖
Some chillies that I've drawn, set against a sketchy, yellow background. The sticker design on the bottom left says "fresh" and is an element I try and include in all my food drawings. A drawing of a dieline for a fictional, evil floor cleaning I designed. There are many different fonts with creepy phrasing such as "use at your own risk, toxic to all life". A drawing of a daisy themed stamp. Rainbow colours shine through the translucent leaves of the daisy. The stamp itself is pale pink. A drawing or a coral hollyhock plant with deep green leaves. The background is sketchy and pale yellow in colour.
