Why? Because… 1) …this is how we continue to grow Bluesky and make it stick. 2) …symbiosis. It’s useful to both illustrators and designers AND art, design, and creative directors.

Day 2 of my #illustrated #advent #countdowntochristmas

Happy december 1st, here's your first advent piccie.#illustration #illustrator #illustratedadvent #countdowntochristmas #mouse #squirrel #childrensbookillustration

Starting tommorow I will be showing a new illustration each day in my illustrated advent. It will be a visual story, based around this little chap that I drew a couple of years ago. So do drop by each day and see the story unfold. #illustrations #childrensbooks #advent #countdowntochristmas #mouse

It's #nationalillustrationday and here is some of my work. #freelance #illustrator #kidlitart #children's #books #published #award winning #picture book illustration #opentowork.

A couple of years ago, I set myself a challenge of creating an #illustration a day for advent. I managed it, #festive #zoo was a bit of silly pun fun. So this year I'm doing another picture a day, this time a visual only story, here's a sketched character. #illustrator.
