A few weeks ago I made this poster as an attempt to start a project where I can use my artwork for things I’m passionate about and feel like I’m doing some good in my personal projects.

This poster is based on a quote that stood out to me artistically from @mikaelaloach in one of her recent posts.

It’s free to download from my website for personal use ONLY. So if you wanna send something eye catching to your local MP or make a statement in your community online or offline please use it!

Also speaking for all the animals too, cus I think every living being is being sacrificed currently ✌🏻

Thanks to everyone that visited me at my markets this weekend, came for a chat or made a little purchase. And it was nice to meet loads of lovely new people too!

My old gumball vending machine got loads of love which was nice. It’s got 5 different mystery sticker options. I actually can’t decide which one is my favourite tbh. Which animal is yours??

Next market will be @bookextravaganza in Moseley at the Uffculme Centre on the 12th Sept 🌱 by @ems_illo

Had the absolute honour of creating this interactive mural for @bhambotanicalgardens that’s currently sitting in The Council House in Brum for @internationaldayofbirmingham !!

Last day to go and see The Botanical Garden’s incredible Glass Corridor takeover !!! Lots of plants and cool sounds and lovely people and info!!

Thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed working on this and seeing everyone interacting with it! It’s based on an old Giant Waterlily photo from 1910 which you can learn about too!!

Getting back to my sketchbook! I’m fortunate to have a really nice garden for a little while longer and I NEVER just go out and draw it. So here I am changing that.

We’ve had these yellow flowers pop up out of no where this year along with our thyme going crazy below.

Does anyone else often forget to sketch what’s right infront of them..?

TOMORROW !! @bluemoonmarkets 🌼

As well as all my bright illo stuff, I will be bringing my little chunky hand bound upcycled books with me!!

These guys are made from upcycled wallpaper (as you know by now if you’ve been here for a while) but ALSO upcycled cardboard boxes for the covers!

These are a bit experimental but they’re like big floaty chunky marshmallows and I’m loving them.

Let me know what you think and see you tomorrow maybe???? 🫶🏻

Just feeling angry about the richest 10% of the planet being responsible for over half of carbon emissions.

Working on a personal project trying to make some free posters to help spread awareness and organise people for climate action. This is the first of 3 little characters I did for the first poster.

If you’re good with words and research or wanna collab in any other way lemme knowww :))
