I had such a lovely time designing - or really just executing their vision - the visual wedding theme of Carly and Andrew! Such a fun opportunity to play with different kinds of drawings and layouts 🌺🌸🌼🌿 bottom drawing is my very first sketchy moodboard messing around doodle page from our first meeting! 💕

some illustrations I’ve been #blessed to make recently for The US Guardian newspaper (online)  📰 👀 @theguardiannews-blog

comic I drew in May 2020 during the first UK lockdown when I hadn’t seen my dad for ages and I missed him very much so I spent an entire day sketching out this comic of our daily phonecall from that morning 💕 and which I took great comfort in finishing this year, when I was missing him now that he’s dead! Aaw, love ya dad 😇

some portraits I was uncontrollably moved to make during a recent RHOBH binge 🥂

[esmeblegvad]

Two panels from a comic in progress about visiting one of the most beautiful places on earth, Harkness Memorial State Park in Waterford, Connecticut, two days after my dad died and how it felt weirdly really good 💕 🦋

throwing it back to this huge watercolour painting I made of myself when I was alone in my house for more than 30 days because of a bad case of early COVID in spring 2020 😇

[esmeblegvad]

Illustration I did for @theguardiannews-blog for a fantastic article written by Kari Paul which went semi viral this spring :O but meme lords hate to credit so if you see it floating around, please tell them to tag a bitch!
