Next up for drawtober is Troll Toll! And once again, I am facing my trifecta of illustration fears: foliage, architecture, and water 😆 It’s always good to push yourself to draw things that make you uncomfortable sometimes!

Next up for #drawtober is spellbound princess!
This has got several loving references to one of my all time favourite illustrators, Harry Clarke, and also Sergio Toppi.
I’ve included some process photos - the final work is in pen and ink on paper, but the planning sketch was digital.
See it at WFC!

The thing I find hardest about art shows is how to price my own art - it’s a balance between what I would like to take based on time spent and what I think someone will actually pay, and I’m still not sure I have it right.
I often write my list, then reflexively go back and lower the prices later…

Keeping up with Drawtober, my latest #art was for the prompt ‘mushroom fairy’, and tbh I’m pretty proud of this one! It’s my first time drawing mushrooms and fungi, and it took absolutely forever…

I admit I had *way* more fun drawing this wee guy than I thought I would for drawtober prompt number 2: Toad Astrologer
What’s the verdict, should I sell prints at World fantasy Convention this year?

Decided to try following along with #drawtober this year! This is my art for prompt 1, candlelit messenger.
This is called ‘The Catacombs’, and I’ll be selling the original at World Fantasy Convention 2025. It’s been a while since I’ve taken part in Drawtober, and I’m really enjoying it so far!

Currently stuck resting at home after my knee op, so I guess I’ll just finish this illustration and watch studio ghibli movies ✨

I have arrived home from knee surgery to find a mysterious Amazon parcel addressed to me, containing a book that I absolutely cannot wait to read! Now to figure out which lovely person sent it to me…

Debating a new profile pic, which says sci-fi writer, fantasy illustrator, and absolute nerd the best? I’m still using my headshot for my professional pages, I’m just debating which to choose for my personal profiles 🙂

This age assurance thing is on Bluesky now?? For goodness sake… and no, I don’t want to add my credit card details. Apparently my face scan is too ambiguous for it to decide my age. Grrr

So this weekend we went to Fantasy Forest at Sudeley Castle, and it was incredible! We had such a good time, the entire experience was amazing from start to finish. I even hand made and embroidered my own wizard jacket (the navy blue!)
