Cute highland calf with a party hat on its head

Happy birthday to my niece! We had a little trip away recently and I got to see some cute highland cattle calves ❤️ They are so cute! Perfect for a little card

Just for a laugh

A pink dragon is sneaking up on a fisherman to get some of the fish he’s caught.

This came about from a fun little sketch in my sketchbook. I wanted to draw a cute dragon.

Fathers Day Card

It was Father's Day last week here in New Zealand. Dad is a Star Wars fan, so I made him this card.

Woman with Roman style dress holding a tray with milk walks through ruins to feed cats. One giant cat is looking over the building but she hasn't seen it yet.

I was inspired by some old photos I took many years ago when I went to Italy and Greece. I wanted to create a fantasy picture with them. This illustration evolved a lot from my original sketch but I like it. I added cats because there's lots of cats there 😊

Art By Phillipa Fantasy illustration for children and children's comics

Hey everyone! I have changed my website and its name. Wix was becoming more and more expensive and it was no longer feasible to continue.

I have also changed my name to something easier to remember!

Alien world market. A kid is eating an ice cream and looking back at a creature and its rider. Several other vendors are in the background.

The market. Inspired by a market in my hometown.

Hekima pats his trusty steed Leeto on the head.

Hekima is confident & cheeky trader with questionable ethics but when it comes to Leeto he is a big softie. Alice meets him in the desert but it remains to be seen if he will actually be helpful or just a hindrance.

Alice (left) looks at her sister annoyed with her arms crossed and her back to her. Her sister Veronica (right) looks on smirking with her arms crossed and her back to her sister Alice.

Alice & Veronica are sisters with classic sibling rivalry. When disaster strikes & Veronica is taken by an alien monster, Alice must act before time runs out. It's a story of bravery, growth in adversity, & the importance of family.

Hey everyone. I am currently working on my first comic for children. I'm up to page 7 out of 30. It's about a young teen who must travel to an alien world to save her sister.

Character introductions to follow next time 😊

Cute alien world market place drawn in pen and ink. A boy is eating an icecream is looking back at a horse/deer/horned creature being lead by a mysterious rider in a cloak. There various other vendors present in the market.

This week I finished the line work for this cute little fantasy market. I was inspired by a real market in my home town. If only it was this cool!

Awesome! That's great to hear 😊

Wind in the Willows fan art. The mouse and the mole are bending over a branch in the top drawing. The mouse is looking up at the swallow in a paddock in the bottom drawing.

I found my old Wind in the Willows book the other day and I loved the illustrations in there. I wanted to practice the style, so I did a bunch of quick little studies. Here are a couple of them.

Two swallows sitting on a telephone line looking at a fairy bringing them a raspberry. There is a raspberry bush in the foreground. The background has part of a house showing as well as some bushes.

Happy mothers day to all the mothers out there! I made this illustration for my mum and printed it out on a card. I added some nice lettering too but this is just the image version.

A Kea on top of hill looking down on merchant traveler cart which is being pulled by a Moa. Other Kea are flying down towards the cart.

A fun fantasy illustration I drew recently with my favourite bird as the star of the show. Merchants are travelling to a market but unbeknown to them the keas have spotted them and are about to raise some chaos.

Wow that's awesome!

Thanks! I was grinning for days afterwards!

A father and daughter riding Moas (an extinct bird)

Moa riders. Here some art to get this account started :)

Draw in procreate. Initially it started as a watercolour illustration but I ended up changing it to more digital style to get the colours to pop more.
