Thank you Margaret Kimball

The other day on twitter Margaret was putting together a lovely package for a lucky recipient, I commented how wonderful it looked, well lo and behold I pop into my studio only find this beauty on my desk! This lovely print will most definately be gracing my walls and check out the crayon drawings on the envelope! Margaret your ace! Thanks :)

Festival frolicking

Above is the illustration I did for my agency Eastwing about summer music festivals. I love music festivals and I always try to make my way to a few each year. I love the effort people go to with fancy dress, full of creative craziness, with the token fairy wings and the inevitable Mexican hat blocking people's views!

Being a rather small individual I usually struggle to see the stage and spend most of my time dodging plastic cups as I balance on a friends shoulder so I can grab a glimpse of the act, if I had the nerve I would attempt to crowd surf but I have always been to nervous! Maybe one day I'll brave it!

Tilly is now represented by Eastwing Agency!

I am now represented by the fine folk at Eastwing Agency! Pretty chuffed to be among other super talented illustrators such as Paul Blow, Lizzy Stewart, Lucie Sherdien and Zara Picken to name a few. I'm off to toast myself with an Earl Grey, tomorrow's my Birthday so I'll keep the champers on ice for now.

Cupcakes and Wine

I went to have a gander at Glynde festival on the weekend, with wellies one and brolly in hand! Here is a few pics of the MasterChef winners who were doing demo's (but no tasters to our disappointment!) and the brochures with my illustrations on. I have to say we spent most of the day tasting all the English wines and stuffing cupcakes.

Lots more work to post shortly, waiting for work to be released before I can post!

Tilly gets a mention over at Meet Me At Mikes

I've noticed a mahoosive number of fine folk having a gander over here the last couple of days, my ears where burning but it wasn't until a lovely blogger told me her route to this blog that I knew who to Thank. The lovely Pip of Meet Me At Mikes has done a glorious feature of my work and it certainly brightened up the studio on these super gloomy days (oh how I love British weather). Go make your way down under through cyber space and have a flick through her awesome blog, full of lots of crafty projects and generally all things ace! Thanks Pip.
