The second of our July birthdays happens this Sund

The second of our July birthdays happens this Sunday, when Sabrina turns 8! I can't believe how fast these kids are growing up, and every age is such a joy. Here's a birthday card I illustrated recently, which I was going to give to Sabrina, until she requested something else... which I can't post here or it wouldn't be a surprise! Happy Birthday to all the July birthdays out there!

A tiger birthday card design I recently illustrate

A tiger birthday card design I recently illustrated, which feels appropriate to post now as it's a big birthday month in our house, the kids turning 10 and 8 in the next couple of weeks! First up is a sleepover party, hopefully they don't go TOO wild! 😆🐅(PS I had a lot of fun making these tigers pink, blue and gold!)

One more British Animals image to share, this one

One more British Animals image to share, this one featuring a big fallow deer, a herd of which we saw running around majestically just like this at @ripley_castle_estate near Harrogate, and a badger which we got to see up close in the Lakes at the supremely cozy Bader Bar: @badgerbaronline . Nature is always on our doorstep, one of the things I love about living in the north of England. I'm hoping to print these up as greeting cards soon! #illustration #illustrator #animalillustration #greetingcards

Here's a squid birthday card I recently illustrate

Here's a squid birthday card I recently illustrated. I had a lot of fun playing with different color palettes for this one, and I like the sort of 80s vibe of the yellow pink and coral. I wonder what sort of present a squid gets for its birthday 🤔 #illustration #greetingcard #greetingcardart #animalillustration

This spread for My Little Golden Book About Me was fun to illustrate, even if I’m not the world’s most sporty person! I wonder what some of the more unique write-in answers will be when kids fill in their books... #illustration #illustrator #childrensbookillustration #kidlit #littlegoldenbooks

For My Little Golden Book About Me I loved creating this page with all different kinds of homes. One of them is the house I grew up in (made a little more colorful) — can you guess which one? #illustration #illustrator #childrensbookillustration #kidlit #littlegoldenbooks

Here are a couple of spreads from My Little Golden Book About Me! I had such fun drawing so many kids doing things, as well as pets, games and toys, and all kinds of other things. A huge thank you to @jan.gerardi and the whole team at Random House who put together this wonderful Golden Book. And a fun fact, I snuck in my own kids somewhere on these spreads — they loved being put into the book as illustrations! #illustration #illustrator #kidlit #picturebookillustration #childrensbookillustration #goldenbooks

It’s publication day for My Little Golden Book Abo

It’s publication day for My Little Golden Book About Me! I am so excited to share this new project which was a dream come true — illustrating a Little Golden Book. Like most people my age, I grew up with lots of those golden spines lined up on my bookshelf, including the classic The Poky Little Puppy, and they were a fundamental part of my childhood. So you can imagine how excited I was to be hired to illustrate a book in the Little Golden lineup! 📖

This is not only a Little Golden Book, but it’s also interactive! It’s made to be filled in by primary school-age kids with all of the important things about themselves, like their favorite things, what they like doing, what they want to be when they grow up and their friends, family and pets. I had a blast illustrating lots of kids doing fun things, as well as all of the pets, activities and decorative frames that will be completed with kids’ own artwork.

I’m sharing the cover and a couple of pages here, and I’ll share more soon! A huge thanks to @jan.gerardi and @randomhousekids for the golden opportunity! ⭐️ #illustration #illustrator #kidlit #childrensbookillustration #childrensbooks

It's lovely and sunny outside! Here's some wildlife which is bursting out all over (even if this is more for autumn than spring!) #illustration #illustrator #wildlifeillustration #animalillustration #britishwildlife

Here are some lovely photos of my illustrations for the Ritz-Carlton Maldives as they were used around and about the resort for their Easter celebrations a few weeks ago! Thanks SO much to @tom.kerss for sending me these photos, and for creating the opportunity to illustrate for this fun event along with the team at RC. I love how they brought everything into 3D life from table toppers to backdrops, and the kids there also got to enjoy Tom’s and my books The Squirrel That Watched the Stars and the Squirrel That Found the North Star! @ritzcarltonmaldives @brightagencylicensing #illustration #illustrator #childrensbookillustration #kidlit #picturebookillustration

Here are more of the illustrations from the Ritz-Carlton Maldives Easter celebrations, which I recently illustrated. The theme combined the constellation Lepus the Hare with the story of The Little Prince, so there were great opportunities for imaginative illustrating. The team at the Ritz were so lovely to work with, so a big thank you to them, to my favorite astronomer Tom Kerss and to the team at Bright for all their support! #illustration #illustrator #easter #childrensillustration @starrystorybooks @ritzcarltonmaldives @brightagencylicensing

Happy almost Easter! It’s the perfect time to share this recent project for the Ritz-Carlton Maldives! I was hired to illustrate the materials for their Easter celebrations, which feature Tom Kerss (whose Starry Stories I have illustrated in the past) as their expert-in-residence. I had the opportunity to bring the same celestial vibe from Tom’s Squirrel Who Watched the Stars books to this wonderful event at the amazing Ritz-Carlton location, and it was a blast! Here are a few of the illustrations, more to come soon! 🌙 #illustration #illustrator #easter #childrensillustration @starrystorybooks @ritzcarltonmaldives @brightagencylicensing
