Haha, so funnily written! I spy a calendar that is filled with little notes! I am a sucker for planning and organising my creative process. If you want to share some insight in your planning, that would be very welcome!!

Thanks, Anna! Who knew! I thought I was the only one... this is another odd quirk of illustration we all keep to ourselves for no apparent reason 😂

Bloody love everything about your newsletters! Reading this in a cafe (music is giving speakeasy vibes and at a slightly grating volume) and pretending that by sitting here in the cafe I’ll get more drawing done because if I’m at home I’ll procrastinate by tidying my studio and avoiding the blank page.

Such fun letters to read and your process and coping mechanisms very reassuring to a fellow, much less successful, illustrator!

Your letters are the absolute best! I totally identify with the desperate need to get out of the house and clean the house simultaneously after an intense work session. Thank you for the peek at your roughs process, no wonder your composition is always perfection! xx

You're welcome! I only thought to add the images about 5 minutes before it was scheduled to send... Glad I did. Thanks for your kind words xx
