Creative, artistic, a bit quirky to be honest. There are always 3 or 4 ideas on the go at any one time, and lots more in my head. Inklings was something which started about two years ago.
The intricately detailed British Counties designs have been a big part of my life, and each one is very time consuming, involving 8–10 days of work, starting with the research. So far I’ve completed 17, with Durham as the most recent one, and there are tons more in planning – The Cotswolds, Cheshire, Scotland, Wales, Lincolnshire and Surrey; the list goes on.
The rough draft for my latest design is based on the 54 cities in the UK with a cathedral. London, Edinburgh, Belfast, Exeter, Lincoln, Chester, Ely, Liverpool, Manchester, St Davids, Ripon, Salisbury, Chichester, Wakefield, Edinburgh and Bangor are all featured amongst others.
Tea towels and tote shoppers are now available, more to follow. Check out my merchandise pages here.
I’m grateful to the amazing Facebook page Not on Amazon – a really brilliant portal where tons of creative people were are able to showcase their amazing products.
So this is me! Sketching and in one of my favourite places, Whitby, on the bracing North Yorkshire coast, always happy there, come rain, wind, or the odd tornado.
