Edinburgh College of Art Degree Show 2012

I have recently been to the Edinburgh College of Art degree show and have come back extremely inspired for the final year of my Masters course next year. My favourite work that was on display belonged to the talented illustrators Kathleen Meaney, Josefin Sundqvist, Jade Price and Lisa Lind.

Well done to all those graduating this year and good luck for the future!

Illustration Friday - Puzzled

I have been experimenting with my new Wacom tablet this week and this is one of the results. I don't often draw animals, so thought I would have a play with it whilst experimenting with my new equipment.

I think it is going to be worth the investment and the start of a great partnership!

A bit more about me...

In 2009 I graduated from The University of Sunderland with first class honours degree in Illustration and Design.

I was highly Commended for the Macmillan Illustration Prize and the winner of the Seven Stories/Frances Lincoln Illustration Competition in 2013.

After completing my Masters degree from Edinburgh College of Art in 2013, I worked at a greeting card company in the North East of England designing cards for charities such as Macmillan Cancer Support, PDSA, RSPB, Epilepsy Action, Sue Ryder and Traidcraft.

After a year in the industry, I decided to make freelancing for children's book a full-time commitment, with work published by Walker Books, Frances Lincoln, Seven Stories and Egmont.
