My friend's in need of help to move, after a year of hell. They're staying so incredibly strong throughout everything, so if anyone can help *and likes art! 🎨Give their page a look

Halving the price to £100! shares appreciated, please help out a struggling artist 💕

Just signed up for my first Ultra next year. 84km along the Berwickshire Coast...not sure I can wait til August though 😁

I'm still out and about running. Run of the Month was Loch Lomond 10k and one of the best yet. Stunning route which I slowed down to enjoy, learning that having a fun time is more important than a fast time 🙂

👋I'm still here bsky, just had a very busy last month of visiting family, going to Oban, Dunblane 12k (don't ask) and trying to not go crazy 😜Art-wise I'm only working on client projects so wont have much new art to share unless something really inspires me 🎨Have a great week everyone!

Taking a few quick uncoloured sketch commissions if anyone would like to just as a little break from finished pieces £15 Please reply with your reference & any other details you’d like! Not first come first served this time, I’ll go through and pick from anyone I feel inspired by ✏️

Hi. Its been a while. Here are a couple of #mastersoftheuniverse pics I did (yesterday and today-so fresh!). REALLY enjoyed the movie, so daft, colourful, noisey and fantastic.

If you're near Crieff: this Thursday I'll be talking about getting your book published, 7pm at Strathearn Arts! Gets some tips, and truth from the book submission trenches. Details on their website www.strathearnarts.org

The Big Hike is done! 🥇😁 26 miles of incredible scenery and very rocky paths. Proud to be the fastest finisher, even if my legs are feeling it now. 🥾Thank you to everyone who supported such a great cause, I loved it!

4th Month, 4th medal. Had a great time with Scurry Events around the Kelpies, loved the route (saw a heron) and appreciated the snacks and buff at the end. 42 seconds off my goal...should have played my 'go-faster' playlist a bit sooner 😆

Everytime I book a hotel in Edinburgh it's usually £100-£165 depending on the day...but suddenly all the hotels are £250+...doesn't matter if it's next week or later in the year. Have I gone crazy?? Had a few events planned but I'm not going if it's that much a night 😵‍💫

One month to go!! How has it come around so fast 😁All I want is good weather-PLEASE. If anyone can help me reach the £100 milestone for Cancer Research that would be incredible 🫶 fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/natasha...

🌷Happy Easter everyone! I'm currently swamped with client work in the run up to the book fair, so no time for fun art. Here are some Easter Bilbies from a few year back in the meantime #kidlitart

Had a great time in Edinburgh seeing Chez Kane launch her new album 🤩Amazing performance and so lovely to meet. Here's to bringing 80's rock back 🤘

What year am I in? New Kreator album is great, solid Mayhem album, with incoming Dimmu Borgir, Draconian and Moonspell. And a new singer for Arch Enemy 🖤AT LAST

Been on the gym waiting list for over a year. They're still at April 2024 on the list, so I might well have to wait another year 😭

Run of the Month: Callander 10K. The weather was terrible and I wasn't in the mood 😩which is a shame because the course was great. Maybe the next run will go better🫠 🏅

Just look🥹

Commissions are OPEN! 🎉 I would be especially happy to draw pieces featuring babyfur / kidfur themes and / or feral animals, toy portraits but am happy to take any project on! If you'd like one you can fill in a form or send me a message personally with what you'd like : ) Click 4 info 👇

The need for a PS5 intensifies

😍What gorgeous artwork by fellow Bright artist Brittany, she's new here on Bluesky and certainly worth a follow to cheer up your timeline

New Book Alert! 🦜My Pirate Colouring Book, out today with Igloo Books. My first time illustrating a full colouring book and hope I get to do more ⚓ #kidlitart #newbook

Awwwoooo! ✨Meet the Werewoof! ✨I really want to design a whole pack of them, each with a different colour and moon phase. Inspired by the original Magic Mixie but with more woof. 🐺Name suggestions please! #kidlitart

Natasha is a good friend of mine who works SO hard at everything she does. She is doing the big hike to raise money for Cancer Research UK - please take a look! Natasha is also a wonderful artist so while you’re here check her work out too 🖍️

This year I'm taking on @cancerresearchuk.org's Big Hike Marathon. Last year the Big C came into my families life, and although we used words like 'it's not the worst one', all Cancer is Cancer. Any donations would be greatly appreciated. 💗 Here's a link to my fundraising page: shorturl.at/CidXC

Finding runs that aren't at the weekend is very tricky, but had a great time at The Meadows 5k. Another medal in the bag and back in the sub 25 min club 😀

In M&S I saw this easter chocolate in the shape of a squirrel face, and I'm soooo sad I can't have it because it has peanuts in 😭

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🧩
