Hey everyone, you might’ve seen the other post with the illustration for this - but I thought the article itself should have it’s own link.
I’ve just started writing for a monthly spot on Ten Paces and Draw - a lovely illustration collab website.
My section is dedicated to tips, advice and resources for illustrators - and this month’s article was about portfolios.
It contains lots of tips from myself and some industry professionals - which should hopefully be of some use!
Have a read, and spread the word.

(p.s. I did the header illustration there too!)
Featured illustration for my upcoming monthly spot writing for Ten Paces and Draw. They’ll be articles full of tips, advice and resources for freelance illustrators.
Tomorrow’s will be about getting a client-stopping portfolio! - I’ll post a link when it’s up.
Reading in shadows
Another newly finished illustration which started life many months ago as a digital colour test for a painting.
Work in progress
I love drawing silly faces on my unfinished character illustrations. Looks like a bad book.
I’ve just finished this new illustration!
What a fabulous poster for TWA by David Klein (he created many great works for them - you can see more here). I love split-style illustrations like these. I also love the way that the sunglasses are being held up in front of the sun - nice touch.
Found via Eight Hour Day.

I’ve taken time off children’s book work to illustrate a pretty pattern!
What to do when you’re in your 50’s and still feuding with siblings—an illo for AARP magazine!
Although this is a family tree for an imaginary magenta-haired family, I did manage to slip in both of my wonderful grandmas (the lovely ladies side by side on the orange & chartreuse ovals, respectively). My cat is also making a star cameo appearance! More on my blog.

I still really like this witchy illustration I did months and months ago. Usually, by now I would’ve gone off it in a classic harshly self-criticising illustrator way.
