Riso printing content only ☺️ Recent scenes from .ink studio! Thanks to Craig for letting me hog the Riso. I’m addicted and I won’t stop. Sorry you’ve been missing out but we’ll be printing together soon.

Riso printing is my new favourite thing and I’m going to need you to but some prints otherwise I have developed an expensive hobby haha. It’s so magical to work with and I have made lots of new mini prints and refreshed some other designs with a Riso spin. I’ve taken photos so I just need to upload and sort. They’ll be online shortly and on wholesale too.

Does anyone actually like it over 30 degrees? I don’t even like it over 25 tbh! As a pale girl I’m not one for sitting out in the sun at the best of times so heatwaves are not a vibe. I pray for anyone who has had to use public transport today. I assume your job is super important otherwise you should have told the office to do one IMO.

You’ll find me in the shade with my fan but I do still want a cup of tea 👀

Doodle for the day is for England. I used to avoid drawing people but I’m quite into it now and I like the dynamic poses of sport. Makes me think how to draw people a little differently and how I can exaggerate shapes as I develop the style. It’s cropped a little though because I keep forgetting to check the new IG sizes that seem to be tweaked all the while!

Have you been watching any of the World Cup? Will you watch England tonight? FIFA sucks, USA hosting sucks but I it would be nice for the country to have an actual positive achievement instead of the usual news and hatred. Plus Three Lions is a banger 🦁🦁🦁

In shop news I have had a restock of a few things that went like the notepads and some keyrings that I haven’t had in a long while. Some have been packed up for wholesale orders and some will be left for markets and putting online. I think some are online but I hate the admin of the listings so please allow me to move slowly 🐌

Think that’s a full ramble.

Running your own business is hard with all the admin and making I guess sometimes I forget to actually tell people about it! Especially when social media feels a bit meh at the minute compared to the good old days where everything felt less pressured and free. If you feel called out by this comic all thoughts and appearances are purely coincidental. I’m certain I’m not the only one who knows what they need to do but isn’t doing it 😅

I also found out my website wasn’t displaying ANY images (which as an illustrator and designer isn’t ideal lol) and I don’t know how long it’s been like that so full professional behaviour here and reminder to check/update your website! I have a little holding page up now as it’s getting a refresh some point this year. I will not be committing to any dates but the shop is all fine and open.

Work-wise I’m working on some larger projects currently which I can’t really share for a while so please enjoy some random doodles of an unprofessional girl trying to be a business girl 🙃

Hello June! I’ve been working on some floral requests so here’s some flowers for the summer. I’ve also been in the garden tidying and planting new things. Some I may have planted a little late but we’ll see what happens with them.

If you see me this week I will not have a tan but I swear I’ve been outside but it is too hot and I will still moan. My skin only has two settings - pale or burnt and I use sunscreen and you should too 🌞 Find me in the shade!

The horrors persist but so does the fight. I feel like an unwilling participant of silly men with power, dumb people and world events 🥲 The need to stay informed whilst also needing peace is a delicate balance.

At least my personal struggles are balancing out. I have been formally diagnosed with IBS after having a month of ✨digestive issues✨ so I guess that’s a win. But I also can’t eat lots of things for another few weeks including onion and garlic 😩

Enjoy some illustration and my gut updates 😂💩

Late to the party for but I’m here. I haven’t take part in a year or two so thought it was time to get back at it and started last night. I’ve only finished this one so I’m not as prepared as most people as standard ☺️

The theme is growing forests so I looked at the nice things in UK forest/woodlands. Currently we’re enjoying bluebells covering the ground, mix of trees and animals in the area. Forgot to include my new hedgehog pals though 😥 Next up is flowing rivers 🦦
