Just wanted to wish everyone #happypridemonth

I finally have a rough story idea for these guys, which I can't wait to get stuck into. I won't let too much out but it's about a cute little witch who adopts a familiar friend which is a bit different to the other kid's familiars...

Here's some beasty bears and buzzing bees having a big yummy picnic. This was a super fun puzzle commission I did for @highlightsforchildren kids magazine last year.

Can you spot all the hidden bells and animals/things beginning with 'B' ?

Didn't realise yesterday was #worldotterday

Fun fact, did you know sea otters actually hold hands to prevent themselves and others from drifting off?

Apart from being super cute, otters have a huuuuge importance in our ecosystem. They are known as “keystone” species; their well-being is often an indicator of the health of their entire habitat. So by protecting otters, we’re also protecting our rivers, our wetlands, and numerous other species that share their habitat.

How is it the last day of May already!

Here is my last #mermay mermaid from me for now. Just a little mermaid chilling with her catfish.

Might put a few of these on my etsy page if anyone is interested.

Happy #worldturtleday ... I didn't know this was a thing until @cuddlycactusbooks recent post - thank you so much! And thank you to @tortoiserescue for starting it and raising awareness of the challenges facing these creatures everyday.

I was a bit sad I hadn't done a recent turtle drawing recently until I remembered this little background character I did in a #mermay illustration I've been working on in my free time. This is just work in progress - more to follow soon from this piece.

Happy #worldbeeday

On this day in 1734, Anton Janša the pioneer of beekeeping was born.

Here are some buzzing facts about bees

🐝 A single bee can produce 1 tablespoon of honey in its lifetime.

🐝 Bees can fly up to 12 mph.

🐝 Bees heat and cool their own hive to keep it between 93 and 95 degrees year-round.

🐝 A Queen Bee will lay 800,000 eggs in her lifetime!

🐝 The hexagonal shape of the honeycomb is the most efficient shape in our world.

🐝 One out of every three mouthfuls of our food depends on pollinators such as bees.

🐝 You can help bees out by planting more wild native flowers, not using pesticides and giving the lawn mower a break for a while.

Valerie the vampire mermaid and Neil the eel setti

Valerie the vampire mermaid and Neil the eel setting off to the deep-water Day-Glo disco.

  Being a kids book illustrator I wasn’t going to attempt the #horror prompt for #day15 of the #mermaychallenge but then I thought let’s give it a whirl (not that this is exactly what I would call scary).

  I also found out some really cool facts about Vampire Squids: 
🐙 Their name - Vampyroteuthis infernalis literally means 'vampire squid from hell'
🐙 They don’t suck blood.
🐙 They aren’t even predators.
🐙 Actually, they’re the only cephalopod that are scavengers not predators.
🐙 Also, they aren't squids.
🐙 They are more closely related to the octopus.
🐙 They eat sea dandruff (sea snow)…which is really just detritus.
🐙 They do not ink.
🐙 The tips of its tentacles can glow and also emit a cloud of bioluminescent sticky mucus that glows for up to 10 minutes.
🐙 Proportionally speaking, a vampire squid's eyes are the largest in the animal kingdom

I've missed out on the #mermaychallenge so far due to current projects, but thought I'd upload a slightly updated version of one I did a few years back for May12 prompt #companion

It was super cool catching up with the wonderful @kerrydilksillustration at her lovely stall in the @belper_childrens_book_fest as part of the @belperartstrail yesterday. If you haven't already I would suggest checking out her work, she has so many amaaaazing kids books out now, we were lucky enough to grab some signed copies yesterday.

Been a bit remiss in posting over in this corner of insta-world due to some of life's curveballs (yey)...so apologies for the radio silence.

Just wanted to wish everyone a hoppy easter with an easter bunny and her good ol' pals the easter magpie and the easter parrot...

This is from a story I am writing and illustrating at the moment. Also working on some other exciting collaborative projects which I'm excited to share soon.

This story by Lucy Noguera at @brilliantmonstersbooks has everything in it...adventure, sun, sand, sea, hermit crabs and a dog! It's a super funny and sweet story about Herman and Hiro who embark on a mission to find a home just the right size for Herman. The story setting also brings much awareness to environmentalism and the importance of conserving our beaches for wildlife.

Happy Easter everyone!

Just sharing part of a spread that I did a few years back for @wattsandwayland_books

It's a superb retelling of the classic tale Chicken Licken by Jackie Walter. As part of the reading champion series it's aimed especially to help kids of ages 5-7 years better develop and reinforce their reading skills.

You can purchase a copy from Waterstones or any major book shop.
