Bring it to life.

Friendly. Passionate. Professional.

Thank you for visiting my website and supporting my small business! It is so appreciated.

I’m a freelance illustrator from Malvern, Worcestershire that loves working with animals, especially anthropomorphism. There is always a theme of nature, love, kindness and animals in all of my work, and a large majority is influenced by my local area that I grew up in.

I am also influenced by cartoons, prominent lines and expressions, along with mythology, folklore and horror - and this weaves its way all through my work. As a surfer, I have a deep connection with the ocean and her magic too. Always happy to have more conversation about any of these subjects!

I am a children’s book author & illustrator at heart, but I like to connect with the child in all of us - you will see this in my one-off illustrations, prints & cards, and is a main driver in my commission work. I love to capture a person, family, or moment in time and weave in my influence and style so the piece brings a smile.

I’m happy to help with whatever your project may be: small one-off spot illustrations, character designs and/or concepts, or full picture book or fiction illustration projects or personal commissions - and anything in between. I love bringing joy through illustration and art in as many ways as I can.

I’m friendly and personable and I love being part of a team, so working with others is a natural environment for me; I’ll make you feel comfortable no matter your request. I’m also very passionate about my work and professional in delivering it. I won’t cut any corners and I treat any commissions like they are my own.

Thanks again for your support, I look forward to hearing from you or meeting you further down the road.

Cards. Prints. Smiles.

I also design and make bespoke cards and prints - both available in my shop. You’ll see me at local craft fairs selling all products.

From January 2025, I will have two local shops in Malvern that are stocking them too, and you’ll hopefully see me at some art & craft fairs in the Worcestershire area. Community and sustainability are two big driving forces for me, and you’ll find all the cards are made locally, and from recycled materials. I’m constantly updating the designs in relevance to the season, so please check back once in a while or sign up to the newsletter for updates.

Thanks for checking out my site, please sign up to the newsletter, visit the shop and/or get in contact for more information.

Thanks,

GK
