✨COVER REVEAL✨ Through fun illustrations, bright colours, and the inclusion of South African animals, my hope is that this book helps little ones (and grown-ups!) take their first steps in learning SASL! 🤟 #SASL #southafricansignlanguage #deafawareness #deafawarenessmonth

Based off of one of the cutest dogs I’ve ever seen! #kidlit #kidlitart #illustration #pride

A little spread mockup of this illustration I posted for #ourplanetweek . #illustration #kidlit #kidlitillustration #picturebook

A little work in progress. I wanted to use up the last little bits of gouache on this palette before starting fresh . #wip #illustration #kidlit #kidlitart #childrensbookillustration #gouache #sketchbook

Made a paint brush stand as a little replica of my Honey when she rolls over for belly rubs 🥹 I’m thinking of making little animal paint brush stands, who wants one? #illustrator #kidlitartist #painter

Nobody warns you about the metamorphosis you go through continually as an illustrator and how tough it is to build those wings. After way too long hiding in my cocoon I want to fly now. #illustrator #illustration #kidlit #kidlitart #artistproblems

I refuse to give AI the ✨ emoji. It’s already coming for my livelihood. It can’t have my favorite emoji. Please be advised that I will continue to use ✨ to mean *ooooh it’s magic* or *the emoji that came before this one is now shiny and special*.

Some more little bits of painting from this sketchbook page. Loved the process! What’s your favourite medium? #gouachepainting #illustration #kidlit #kidlitartist

#kidlitartpostcard fresh fries for your feed art directors and agents. Looking for work and representation in children’s publishing and illustration.

Inspired by my little Honey bee who loves smelling flowers 💛 #springillustration #flowerillustration #art

You’ve got this! What ever you’re working on, you’re on track! . #motivation #inspiration #kidlit #kidlitartists #arttherapy #mentalhealth

Sometimes it can feel like you’re missing out when your path looks different to those around you. Keep the focus on you ✨ . #kidlitartists #illustrators #arttherapy #mentalhealthmatters

I asked a child what their fave book from last year was and their answer was a series that was published about a decade ago. A good reminder that a book is always new to a child who hasn't read it. The constant publishing hustle for novelty has nothing to do with what children want. #KidLitUK

For who ever needs this right now 💕 . #mentalhealthmatters #arrtherapy

Wishing everyone a gentle 2025✨ happy new year! . #kidlit #illustration #arttherapy
