An illustration of a huge but friendly-looking bee flying while carrying a frightened little girl in his arms.
It’s #kidlitartpostcard day again! This is a little close up from Carlos and Bea, the story of a little girl struggling to make friends until she’s joined by Carlos—a 6ft honey bee. Currently seeking representation.

A lady holds an art print up in front of her face. The print shows an illustration of three white birds, Arctic terns, in flight on a blue background.
A cute illustration of a male rose robin - a grey bird with a bright pink chest - perched on a branch. The illustration is in a simple wooden frame on a white background.
A wooden frame with an illustration in it of two seals swimming through green kelp fronds and turquoise water. There are fish amongst the kelp and next to the framed picture is a basket with a teddy bear in.
A little shameless self-promotion post here. I've added lots of new designs to my InPrint shop, here's just a few of them available as prints of various sizes and greetings cards: www.inprnt.com/gallery/dani...

My latest Substack post is the tale of a shark tail.

Race IS a social construct, but what does that actually mean?
In the wake of Trump’s scientifically illiterate statements on race, I have written a handy explainer.

Two small sketchbooks on s as desk next to some paints. The sketchbook pages have very messy splashes and splotches of paint across them.
I’ve forgotten how to draw, so I’m just doing this from now on.

An illustration for children of a red fox looking at a magpie that is in the air nearby. The magpie looks distressed and the fox is concerned. Autumn leaves are blowing around them and the sky is a warm yellow.
I just entered this Domestika contest because I'd quite like $500.
Check out the competition, and feel free to give my red fox drawing a heart 😁
My entry includes step-by-step details of how I created him.

I rarely draw flowers and I almost never use markers, but I had so much fun with this tiny sketchbook page, using Tombow markers and coloured pencils in a very scribbly way, no pencil sketch first.

A digital illustration of a house sparrow on a white background. The bird has watercolour textures and fine line details.
There's a little process video on my YouTube channel of the making of this bird drawing in Procreate, using some of my favourite brushes by Lisa Glanz. www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2Ga...

A digital illustration of a male house sparrow, in a style that is cute and simplified but still accurate for the species.
Did I just spend the last hour drawing this bird as a distraction form the real work I have to do? Yes. Yes I did. #drawing #kidlitart #birdillustration

An illustration of an overweight yellow Labrador retriever, looking bored, sat next to four balls.

I just made myself the tiniest and prettiest little watercolour palette from an empty mint tin, and now I’m going to reward my hard work with a hot chocolate. #artistlife #artiststruggles
Yes, I really love them. The colours are so beautiful.

An iPad on a desk. On its screen is a page from Pinterest showing a variety of curated boards about illustration.
Today’s Substack post is about my on/off relationship with Pinterest and why it’s not the useful tool for artists it once was.
