One of my fave times of the year - the announcement of the Jhalak Prize longlist. I'm going to have to add some of these to my ever-growing reading list 😍. Glad to see Flower Block on there too, a wonderful picture book!

The weather doesn't quite know what to do at the moment, not in Newcastle anyway.
It's been ages since I've posted as I'm struggling to find time for social media & the will to rebuild the community lost on Twitter.
But here's a mock storybook cover to celebrate that spring is breaking through.

Since getting some good work news recently, I treated myself to 📚 by author/illustrator friends.
It's a huge privilege to be able to buy books in this way, & when I get the chance it's lovely to be able to support fellow creatives.
(N.B. Pic book is: You, Me & the Whole Wide World, Bridget Marzo)📚👀

Sharing a piece on here from the arsEdition book 'So leben wir – und wie lebst du?', to cheer up a grey Friday morning.
This is Tamara with her biological dad, stood next to her foster parents houseboat.

Looking forward to connecting with more folks here.
Seems just like Twitter which is great, as it means not having to decipher yet another platform!
Thanks to those who've linked with me.
Here's some pics of families for the book 'so leben wir und wie lebst du?', that nicely illustrate connection.

Hello 👋
Thought i'd do an intro post as it's my 1st. I'm Lucy an illustrator-author, whose finally gathered the motivation to get myself over here before Twitter (or whatever), completely implodes.
Here's some of my illustration work. Writing-wise i mostly do pb but am attempting longer fiction too.
