The Portobello Bookshop asked me to paint their summer window earlier this month. And honestly it was a real treat.

I had an urge to draw the crocuses. I love when they appear as little reminders that spring is nearly here.
Does anyone else feel like the last two months have flown by?

The AOI have a creative practice book cover course on at the moment. A session with AD Ellie Game suggested creating a cover with an illustration you already have.
I turned my peach illustration into a cover that I think would suit a modern romance novel or sex therapy book. What do you think?

I had a little bit of downtime last week so I mocked up this book cover just for the fun of it. I’ve used dark purple here to convey an all encompassing velvety night and am imaging the moon and it’s reflection being an iridescent foil or a spot uv varnish to give the path of light an ethereal feel.

I got some stickers and postcards made for OFFF Barcelona and still have loads left, because…introversion.
Do people still like getting this sort of thing in the post?

OFFF Barcelona last week was absolutely brilliant.
This is a bit of a visual journal of my experiences. If you’d like to read more about my highlights you can check that out on my Instagram as there’s a much larger word count there.

The pattern I made last summer from my museum sketches of ancient artefacts is now on a LOQI bag. It’s part of their new Designboom collection which is being shown off at the Maison & Objet in Paris this week alongside their other amazing new stuff. How exciting it that?

It’s my favourite time of the year…when all the cute dogs in the park are wearing their sweaters and flashing disco lights.

Tattoos were religiously significant for the Mayans. They believed some of the power of the gods could be attained by capturing them in ink on their skin.
A Mayan deity called Acat steadied the artists hands and blessed the ink and the sharp reeds used for drawing.

This is the cleaned up sketch I used to create the colour version.
This is a personal project. I had some drawings in my sketchbook from two prompts ‘Quiet moment’ and ‘Afternoon Tea’. They made me think of serene Japanese tea gardens, the slow quiet ritual of tea ceremonies, and of being transported somewhere truly peaceful for a moment.
