First running medal of the year from the Simon Howie Puddin' Race. Took it nice and easy and just had fun. A really well organised event, so will certainly be back next year. I've started marathon training, so hoping to try and get to an event each month to keep me motivated 👟

Hey illustrators/agents! I’m a #kidlit art director starting work on a new picture book—we’re looking for: expressive, commercial, human characters; fantasy; magic; AND Mahjong! The tiles! The drama! Please respond w/ samples + folio link. Please no emails/DMs. 💙❤️ #artcommissions

I started the year with a plan to draw ALL the Jellycats for my daily warm-up, but I only managed four before work got too busy 😅Maybe I'll just draw my favourites birdlings

🧩Crieff Jigsaw Festival- Scotland's first Jigsaw Festival is underway 🧩If you live locally come and check it out, there are hundreds of puzzles and a mini display of my work! #crieff

Later this week I'll be displaying my work at Scotland's First Jigsaw Festival! 🧩Illustrating more puzzles is top of my wish-list for 2026, especially a wooden puzzle set collection 🤞

About two years ago I returned to having a part-time job because I couldn't make a living from just Illustration. It felt crushing after so many years trying to go solo and that perhaps my art wasn't good enough. Not worth enough. 😮‍💨But somehow it works out for the best...

So your telling me there's a local race where I can run around someone's field to get a medal AND a haggis? And then wear it on a rather nice black t-shirt...First race of '26 confirmed! 😄🏅

I've always used social media for art, but never personal life, so it's tricky to get into the habit of it. 🏃‍♀️I'm back to running again using a walk/run mix as my ankle continues to recover. I'd like to be back to half marathon level by New Year🤞 Big challenges planned for 2026

#Competition Time. Win a signed copy of my new Picture book ‘My Friend Billy Whiskers’. All you have to do is Like, Repost and Follow me to be in with a chance. I’ll pick at random a winner on Monday 6th October. Good Luck all 🤞🦁👦🏻 #giveaway #picturebook

#Kidlitart community, please go and give a follow to Carlo. His work is adorable and just the refresh every timeline needs

We deserve some joy. We deserve some FAT BEARS. NEXT WEEK NEXT WEEK!!!! Go Grazer Go you absolute unit! www.npr.org/2025/09/19/n...

Hey #kidlit illustrators! We're beginning work on new Christmas/nighttime themed picture book. I'm looking for someone with a painterly, textured, and literary style capable conjuring magic, light, and wonder. Please respond w/ samples + folio link. Please no emails/DMs. 💙❤️ #artcommissions

DNS 😞Guess where I'm not. Today I should have been taking part in Edinburgh Trail Escape, but due to spraining my ankle early July it was a no go. 🏅Deferred entry to next year (because I want to enjoy it and not limp around having a bad time)

💙Apologies, I have no access to messages here on Bsky thanks to the age verification which I can't get around (as I have a debit card not a credit card) Hope they find a fix or alternative 💙

A new month and a new book! ✨Where's The Axolotl ✨Out today with Arcturus Publishing- and it's even in hardback 💗 #newbook #kidlitart #kidlit

Throwback to 2017 when my art looked a little different 🫣 Completely forgot about the donated tennis balls, tempted to give it a redraw sometime 🥎 #kidlit #kidlitart

Another behind the scenes! The fast food spread was one of my favourite scenes to draw, especially for the mouse in the taco outfit. As an easter egg, you'll find the van from 'Taco Truck' (published 2023) which was based on the van from Overcooked 2🦜 #wip #kidlitart #newbook

Another partial spread from my latest book. Busy scenes are my favourite to draw and I try to make every character unique. Look out for a scared lion, lost rubber duck and lots of polka dot mugs ❄️ #kidlitart #kidit

To celebrate my new book Vehicles: 1001 Things To Find 🚘 I'm sharing some roughs from the project. This was the concept design for our lead Tristan Tiger 🐯 #kidlitart #kidlit #characterdesign

🥳My new book is out! Vehicles: 1001 Things to Find, published by Igloo Books. All next week I'll be sharing sketches, roughs and some of my favourite bits 🚙 So keep a look out! #kidlitart #newbook #igloobooks

Give me illustration work to do or I will find something else to do that you might regret later (shitty landlord could be an option).

Currently busy with client work (including my first colouring in book! ) But this is something from last year where I briefly considered designing a series of wooden toys for young children🧩

Had a lovely hike up Ben Chonzie until I badly sprained my ankle and needed to go to A&E. X-rays all clear but my foot is quite the sight 🫠

Signed up for another walk this September given there's no more Glencoe Challenge. I mean...I said I'd never RUN a marathon, never said anything about walking 😜

This is an Art Fight attack: artfight.net/~natedraws

20 Miles Done! 🌺 Had an incredible time at the Pink Ribbon Walk. Absolutely stormed through it with leader Kate. 5 hours and 15 mins, even with the hills 🔥Met the most incredible ladies and was truly such a memorable event. Just amazing. #BreastCancerNow

Tomorrow morning I set off on a 20 mile hike for The Pink Ribbon Walk in aid of Breast Cancer Now 🎀 Hoping for a large turnout- if you're in Crieff you can cheer on at Macrosty Park from midday

Space Adventures out in the Wild! Also spotted a new cover variation of my Ladybird Animals Sickerbook (but I didn't have my camera with me) Love to see it out there 🌟

🤯It's happened again! I'm so excited to say from this Thursday, you'll be able to find my work in Aldi UK stores🚀 Being able to find my books while doing the weekly food shop is a novelty I will never get tired of 😊 #kidlitart

If you see this, Share your program and your art! #Art Any Artweaver users in the house?

I'm hoping to use this platform for mainly sharing artwork, but also the occasional life post. 🌤️Had a day off to walk to Loch Turret in training for a charity hike this summer

🌷Spring is here! 🌷 Looking forward to brighter days ahead💛 #kidlitart #Springequinox

Happy Pancake Day! Here's one of my favourite Jellycat toys to celebrate🥞Thinking of drawing...all of them... #jellycat

So sad to say goodbye to #AnimalAlphabets. Never made a long run, but here are my favourites together. Thank you to everyone involved (and for letting me draw some of the weekly prompts) 💛 @animalalphabets.bsky.social #kidlitart

💗A little late for Valentines Day, but finally coloured up my love birds 💗 #kidlitart

Happy National Pangolin Day! 🥳Here's an old piece from a few years ago. I wasn't happy with how the scales turned out, and not sure multicoloured works, but better to share than not. #WorldPangolinDay #kidlitart

Getting back into drawing for fun...so a baking dinosaur it is! 🎂 #kidlitart

🎉It's time for a Prehistoric Party! My third Who's Hiding Puzzle for @GaltToys is out in the wild. Available at Hobbycraft, Amazon and many more toy stores. 🥁 Absolutely loved working on this one!#kidlitart

I'm spending early January finishing off a project, taking some time to relax, and should be back with new art in February. Looking forward to sharing more of my life on here and experimenting with traditional art again 🤯Until then wishing you all a Happy 2025 🥂

This December I will be taking on art commissions that I've called "Hedgies for Hessilhead". 100% of proceeds from these commissions will be donated to Hessilhead Wildlife Rescue Hedgehogs are at risk and they provide the ability to be healthily & happily released back into the world 🦔💕 Info 👇

An illustration from last year that feels oddly fitting. Such a joy to find all the #kidlit artists again 💙My hope is to eventually turn Little Fox into a board book series #illustration #art
