Latest Work...

Here's some of the work I have been doing in the last week or two. 

First up is yesterdays Observer! It was for the New Review section's East London Special, where I did a map of the area. They also used my type and little pigeon throughout the section. 

Next up is a National campaign I did for Specsavers Opticians, so keep your eyes peeled, these folks have just been rolled out throughout the country!

Tilly does the Olympics

Here is an illustration I worked on with Tonwen Jones for Skola Schools for the Olympics.

Tilly for The Guardian

This was the illustration used for last weeks Work section for the Saturdays Guardian newspaper. A little ambition of mine ticked off, lovely.

Armistice day

Thinking of all the soldiers.

Tilly on Computer Arts inspiration blog

The good folk of Computer Arts magazine have featured my work on their Inspiration blog here. What a tip top way to start the week, cheers chaps.

Brick Lane Banter

Here's an illustration I did on the interesting folk in Brick Lane.

Studio Space

We have a desk space going for an illustrator in our ace studio in Brighton, a stones throw from the sea and I wondered if any of you out there would like to join us on our inky adventures!? If you live near by drop me an email tilly@runningforcrayons.co.uk for details, your welcome to pop round for a brew and to see the space.

Thank you Margaret Kimball

A while back I was asked to be on the wonderful blog We Heart Illustration which is curated by the talented illustrator and designer 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 :)

Go check out Margaret's fantastic work!

Tick Tock Tilly

Here are some watches I did the other day for my agency Eastwing and something else I will reveal soon!

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.

Tilly for the New Statesman

Here is the latest illustration to be printed, currently inking up next issue's. I'm thoroughly enjoying this monthly job, muchos fun.

We ❤ Illustration feature

The tip top blog We Heart Illustration has featured of my work and there's a little interview up there too. I was asked some rather ace questions, that certainly got my brain ticking, go have a peek.

Margaret Kimball also has some amazing work and you should certainly click your way through her ace site!

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!
