There—I fixed it. 🤡

| Nuts about you 💜 | To truly love someone you must first love yourself. So this Valentine Day I will declare my love for me! Luckily for you I will also declare my love for you … YES YOU … You are amazing and I am nuts about you!

| Lost souls of the bloodstone coffee | I love handlettering. This lost souls of the bloodstone darkest roast ever coffee packaging is one of my favourites. I love how the gritty texture and bold lettering are balanced by the delicate detail on the skull. Did I mention I love this piece? 😊

| Free Hugs | It’s almost Valentine’s Day, but don’t let that stop you from giving and free hugs. They are, without a doubt, the best thing in the world! Available as an A5 RISO print. This spider-like monster is giving out FREE HUGS for today and today only, and maybe tomorrow or the day after…

| Coffee pot with folk-art flowers on purple | It’s such a wonderful thing to see how a couple of new colours can change the mood of an illustration. This is the version I submitted for the colour quest course by Lilla Rogers & @makeartthatsells.bsky.social

| In and around the pond | Inspired by an old illustrated school poster. This illustration has been a long time coming. It’s strange the way an illustration sometimes has to simmer before a pencil even touches the paper! #kidlit #pondlife #illustration

| Deer and her young fawn cuddling| Valentine is coming up, so don’t forget to give your mum an extra hug! #loveisallaround #love #valentine

| Folk art style flowers in Delftblue | These flowers are a personal favorite. Created after a day in Delft with souvenir shops at every corner. Some with old antique tiles, others with mass produced clogs and one with beautiful contemporary Delftblue cups and plates. #delftblue #procreateart

| May I interest you in a hug? | Valentine’s Day is coming up … meet Hugh, this lovely monster is not looking for romance, he’s looking for friends. Hugh loves hugs. #valentine #illustration #hughloveshugs

Painting session | Spending an evening painting with my friends, such a lovely way to shut out the harsh world for an hour or two.
