This was just a little sketch and experiment, but I might do a few more in this style!
Hand drawn, digitally coloured.

Fuck Trump
Because fuck Trump, and his dense lasagna of ignorance, discrimination, and lies.
Coloured pencil and watercolour.
Ben Nevis
We have a brilliant view of the Ben where I work, and here’s a teeny tiny sketch I did.
Colouring pencil.
Time Lapse of the Moon
Just a little experiment!
Watercolour gif.
Self Portrait
It’s been a while since I’ve done a self portrait, I prefer drawing other people’s faces, not my own. But I thought I’d give it another go, and now you can see what I look like, hello!
Coloured pencil.
Professor McGonagall
I’ve grown up with Harry Potter, the books and the films, and this weekend I decided to draw a portrait of this badass witch!
Neville: Let me get this straight Professor, you’re actually giving us permission to do this?
McGonagall: That is correct, Longbottom.
Neville: To blow it up, boom?
McGonagall: BOOM!
Neville: Wicked!

Hand drawn, with a little watercolour.
Minny Jackson
Here is a pencil portrait of Octavia Spencer as Minny Jackson, in the 2011 film, The Help.
If you’ve seen the film you know what scene this is from! …And if you haven’t seen the film already, you need to!
Hand drawn.
Abstract drawing exercise
This week I found an old series of drawings from a few years ago, combining different parts of some observational drawings from my sketchbook, and papercut elements.
Hand drawn and collaged, scanned.
Waves
Created in 2015, Waves is an artists book inspired by the long distance relationship between my grandparents when my grandad was in the Navy. My grandad kept every letter my nana wrote him, she found them after he died.
Mixed materials.
Selkies
These are a series of illustrations I created in 2015, to accompany a short fairytale I had written about selkies. Selkies are a creature common in Scottish folklore, a kind of fairy that takes the form of a seal but likes to come ashore and shed her skin and dance, in the form of a beautiful woman.
Pencil drawings, scanned.
