Sitting with my client and realising, it’s only bleddy May the 4th! “May the 4th be with you!” A little doff of the hat to the incredibooble Star Wars.

I do diddly do enjoy an challenge by #colour_collective aaaand i got to must with my new #procreatebrushes by #georgsprocreatebrushes This week’s colour: #CanaryYellow Some of you may not know, but alongside my #freelance #illustration I sometimes work as a #Carer for those who need a bit of support at home. It provides a lidda biddova social element to my work flow where my illustration work is definitely a little more hermitty. Life balance gold 👌 Very often, in my Care work, something will happen that will dig a lil deeper and strike a chord in my soul/heartbox This is not based entirely one one person but on a collection of gathered experiences as I have worked as a carer. Taking a stroll up his garden for the first time in about a year, admiring his blooms in the spring and using his aching body to transport him. Witnessing that sheer determination to get that joy in his life can only be inspiring. A space that was once kept exactly as he liked it and the memories made there, now a little less vibrant; a little bittersweet. #kidlitartist #illustrator #ageuk #elderlycare #childrenspicturebook #picturebooks #picturebookfair #bolognachildrensbookfair #londonbookfair #illustrationdaily #illustrationfriday #cornwall #capetown #london #bristol #bookart #artvartist #artdirector #charityball @ageconcern_ncs @age_uk @hospice_uk @hospicestfrancis @royaltrinityhospice @dementia_uk @dementia_friends @dementia.aide #dementia #alzheimers #alzheimersawareness #the100dayproject (at London, United Kingdom)

Sooo, I tried the #100dayproject and instantly failed! It is a bit of a lol. I’m deciding to just do a weekly doodle as part of @illustrationfriday as Tis more achievable and less hideabubble fromabubble. Thanks so much for asking me @harrison.illustration I’m sorry I was a bit pants. 🙃 Hope you’re all having a fantabulous week . . . #illustrationfriday #kidlit #illustratorsoninstagram #instaartist #publishing #falmouth #childrensbooks #bolognachildrensbookfair #london #londonillustrationfair #londonbookfair #capetown #ipad #artistsoninstagram #cambridge #digitalnomad #whatkatyloved (at London, United Kingdom)
