Corporate life was never for me long term but strangely I do miss some things from my office job.

Actually working in local government sometimes was like living in a sit com. I’ve got some good tales to tell.

I may be less well off but I get so much joy from running a creative business and that’s more than enough for me.

But going self employed can be a bit lonely, which is why I love running Nook Nottingham, going to markets and exhibiting at trade shows.

Bit soppy, but thank you to everyone who interacts with my business, you make it all worthwhile 🥹

Drop me your TV recommendations in the comments.

Spoiler, I like to listening to true crime podcasts/documentaries

I probably listen to podcasts more than I do music when I’m designing and drawing.

Some of my best work is produced listening to a good Radio 4 documentary or keeping up with the latest in politics.

I’ll do a music edition which will give you an insight into how wild my music taste is.

And please give me your podcast recommendations! What should I listen to next?

I’m too hot and I just want an ice cream.

The studio gets way too warm to work in once the sun hits but the light is perfect for pictures.

I keep looking at buying mockups for my catalogue but everything is made with bastard AI so I’m going to invest some time with my camera and do it all myself.

I’m not buying your AI mockups because I enjoy gardening and the outdoors and I hate everything being crispy, dehydrated and dead. Climate change is very real and AI is contributing big time.

Any way, that escalated. Please enjoy my artwork ✨

Fellow illustrators and graphic designers, here’s two must see exhibitions at

First up go and soak up some of the World’s Worst Record Sleeves. There was bloke proper laughing out loud at some of them. It was weird, hilarious and good fun. Took lots of pictures of some lovely fonts.

Then head over to the ‘Wonderful world of Ladybird Book Artists’ exhibition. I grew up with all my granny’s ladybird books so this was so nostalgic and pure joy.

Always support your local cultural institutions! These were free to look round and such great quality. Feeling inspired!

I mean my to do list is huge.

I find it hard to be realistic about how much I can actually achieve as one person.

I like to sit down in my comfy chair and categorise all the big jobs and then make mini to do lists for each category.

My chaotic brain doesn’t always stick to it though! I try.

The biggie is finishing off my catalogue and the nice jobs are the designing bits.

Best crack on.

Caps are now live on my website ✨

I’ve had so many messages asking for them to be available online so I have granted your wish.

These unisex caps are 100% cotton and great for everyday wear.

They are comfy, adjustable and an effortless way to add personality to your outfit 🙌

I’m personally obsessed with the Scottie cap obvs.

Which one are you getting?

Beige? Who is she?

Because life is too short for magnolia.

Bold, vibrant and characterful prints is all you’ll find over here.

Brighten up your walls 🎨🌈🎀

Everything I sold at my most recent market 🛒

For what seemed like a bit of a slow day it wasn’t bad at all.

I super appreciate every purchase and it was so nice to see some of my repeat customers and have some lovely conversations.

I don’t stand at as many markets any more but always like to go out and meet people and gauge reaction to my work.

Thanks for keeping the dream alive ✨
