A slightly revamped version of an older illo, and one of my favourite animals!

We knew Leela could be a fussy eater, but this did surprise us a bit! She hasn't tried munching any sky raisins since.

Here's my very late illustration from my archives for #colour_collective for #DarkCharcoal - a hatching dragon egg. It's a substitute for something I was hoping to finish.

It's the final today! Toby's favourite catchphrase is very fitting for what we'll witness the three finalists go through.

A cartoon illustration of man with short French cropped brown hair and a handlebar moustache, wearing a pink t-shirt. He is smiling and saying "Squeaky bum time!"

Why should flavourless carving pumpkins get all the glory at Halloween? Get your spooky five-a-day by carving some different, and much yummier, fruit and veg! #happyhalloween

#CCPersimmon #colour_collective #halloween #jackolantern #foodillustration #illustration
An illustration of different orange or yellow fruits and vegetables carved with jack-o'-lantern faces. There is a persimmon, an orange bell pepper, a carrot, a clementine and finally a tall pineapple which is peeking up from the bottom.

There’s a bit of #CCPickleGreen for #colour_collective in this zhuzhed piece. And I think this cat is definitely called Pickle too! Now it’s back to tackling the to-do list for me! 💜

#kidlitart
A children’s picture book illustration of a sleepy calico cat that has just woken up from a nap in a flowerpot full of nasturtiums, surrounded by a sunny garden with a blue-painted fence.

#CCPickleGreen #colour_collective #pickles #gherkins #picklejar #foodillustration #cartoon #illustration
An illustration of a jar containing two cartoony pickles (or gherkins depending on where you're from!) swimming about in pickling liquid which also contains mustard seeds, some pieces of onion and a sprig of dill. One further pickle is in the process of diving into the mouth of the jar from the lip.

Week Seven: Lesley's perfect dessert sounds heavenly, even if it might be the ultimate artery clogger.

#bakeoff #greatbritishbakeoff #GBBO #GBBO2025 #meringue #applepie #icecream #clottedcream #custard #baking #bakes #comic #illustration
A cartoon illustration of a plate holding a slice of apple pie. The pie is topped with custard which runs off it and forms a pool on the plate. Above it are stacked two scoops of ice cream, the bottom one vanilla and the one above chocolate. Topping this pile of indulgence is a generous dollop of clotted cream, which is slowly oozing its way down. Lurking behind this is a cartoon woman with black rimmed glasses and reddish-brown hair, gazing upon it all with awe as love hearts float around her head.

Week Five: Noel is overwhelmed by Nataliia's bench organisation during Chocolate Week.

#bakeoff #greatbritishbakeoff #GBBO #GBBO2025 #chocolate #baking #comic #illustration
A cartoon illustration of a dark-haired woman hiding her face with some paper in embarrassment. Behind her, a goth man in a dark shirt is half-submerged in orange "lava" chocolate sauce, which is pouring out from a chocolate volcano. Around him are a myriad of baking utensils and food items. He is saying in some distress "This is like an episode of Hoarders!".

I've drawn a galaxy doughnut before. Now it's time for a galaxy doggo doughnut 🍩

I've become a bit obsessed with black greyhounds with white ticking, a combo I didn't know existed until recently.

#CCPrussianBlue #colour_collective #greyhounds #blackgreyhound #snowflakehound #dogs #illustration
An illustration of a black greyhound covered in small white spots, or "ticks", sleeping curled up in a tight ball. The background is dark blue fading into black, with white stars mimicking the white spots on the dog.

Celebrating all those lovely black doggos on #BlackDogDay!

Black dogs are less likely to be adopted than those with lighter coloured coats. However, they are just as beautiful, loving and in need of forever homes. #blackdoglove

#nationalblackdogday #adoptdontshop #greyhound #blackgreyhound
An illustration of a black greyhound from the side, doing a downward dog stretch. The words "Ooh big stretch" go across its body in white writing.

Week Four: Tom admits that his contribution to his local summer fete could have gone better during Back to School Week.

#bakeoff #greatbritishbakeoff #GBBO #backtoschool #fete #summerfete #facepainting #baking #comic #illustration
A cartoon illustration of the side view of a tall, blonde man who is wearing a blue t-shirt. He is holding a paintbrush in his right hand and a face paint palette in his left, and is leaning towards another man. The second man is bald and wearing a light blue, short-sleeved shirt. He is less than impressed with his face paint, which is orange with black lines across it in the manner of a basketball. The text above says "He was like, 'Can you make me a tiger?'".

An #Afghan hound on an #autumn afternoon amble.

#CCFallow #colour_collective #afghanhound #fall #autumnwalk #woodland #autumnleaves #dogillustration #illustration
An illustration of a red and cream Afghan hound having a walk in some woodland in autumn, stirring up the crisp red and golden leaves as it goes. Its nose is pointed up, giving a snooty (pun intended) "I'm fabulous" air as its lustrous mane flows behind it.

Week Three: Tom carries on with important business in less than ideal conditions created by Noel and Jasmine during Bread Week.

#bakeoff #greatbritishbakeoff #GBBO #breadweek #bread #baking #noelfielding #comic #illustration
A cartoon illustration of the side view of a tall, blonde man who is wearing a blue jumper, black trousers and a beige apron, leaning over a workbench. He is holding an unattractively shaped log of chocolate in one hand and a paintbrush in the other, with which he is attempting to finesse said chocolate log. He's a bit stressed and saying "...trying to make this not look like a poo". Some items are bouncing off him, having been shot from out of frame. A cartoon of two people who are flicking bits of bread dough at the first person. One is a tall, lanky goth man wearing a black shirt covered in a pattern featuring various breads. The other is a woman rocking double denim. They are drawn in a super deformed style to emphasise that they are being cheeky monkeys who are tormenting a poor baker who is just trying to making chocolate look less faecal in nature. For shame.

Week Two: Pui Man shares her strategy for Biscuit Week.

Honourable mentions to Aaron who got his fingers burned, and Nadia again who seems like she'll keep on delivering!

#bakeoff #greatbritishbakeoff #GBBO #GBBO2025 #biscuitweek #biscuits #baking #comic #illustration
A cartoon illustration of a woman with black hair in a ponytail, wearing a red and white top, red cardigan and pearl necklace with a gold letter "S" in the centre. She has her hands up by her shoulders and is saying "have a little dance" as she does a little bop. Cartoons of two people. The top one is of a bearded man with short cropped hair. He is blowing on his burnt, red fingers in mild distress and saying "Noel's hot!". The bottom one features a woman with long brown hair in a ponytail, saying "I hope he actually swallows it and enjoys it".

I've been a fan of Maru the cat's box diving antics since the dawn of YouTube. He sadly passed earlier this week, so I had to pay tribute.

#CCDoveGrey #colour_collective #maru #maruthecat #cat #cats #scottishstraight #catsinboxes #catillustration #illustration
Multiple illustrations of a grey and white tabby Scottish Straight cat called Maru, in various poses which made him internet-famous before he died aged 18 earlier this week. These include sitting in small boxes, curled up in a fishbowl, sitting on a swing and attempting to get through tiny holes and gaps.

It's a bit early for this type of drawing, but the colour reminds me of my dog's thickest winter fleece and how she would run around in the snow when she was a bit more spry.

An illustration of a white and black greyhound wearing a rich, purple dog coat covered in a white spot pattern. She is running gleefully in the snow.
