ARTIST TRAINING
One-on-One Consulting to help start your business | £125
Every week I receive multiple emails asking many questions about how I run my business. New for 2023 I’m now offering one-on-one consulting to help you answer your questions on how to run your own illustration business. I have worked as a freelance illustrator for close to a decade and in this time I have worked with a number of high profile clients as well as working with agents and also creating and selling my own products.
These one-on-one consultations will guide you towards establishing yourself as an illustrator and gaining clients.
EXAMPLES OF QUESTIONS
- Do you practice traditional art or do you work mainly digitally?
- Has COVID affected your business in any way?
- Where do you find inspiration from?
- If you’re creatively stuck, how do you get the creative juices flowing again?
- Do you have advice on how I can make it in the art world?
- What makes a great illustration, is it colour, composition or anything else?
- Where do you find clients?
- What are the big challenges of working as a freelance illustrator, and you have any words of wisdom?

Drawing map is never a “quick job”!
I’m going to illustrate map of Florida next. Anyone would love to share some local information with me? Help a lady in need? 😅
I want to illustrate two US states maps next so one is Florida and I haven’t decided which state will be the next ? If you want to see any state in my map collection please leave a comment below. I will choose the most popular states to illustrate. **I have California, Texas and going to illustrate Florida, so please don’t write these three states.** Many Thanks! ❤️❤️

New map alarm! 🚨
As many of you know I moved to London last year so I have created a map of London and now this map of #England !
This #mapofenglamd took me long time to completed as there are so many counties in England (48 counties, ouch!). I was working on this map while creating other projects for my agent and now it finally finished! Yay!
Next map is going to be map of Sweden! Yes! I finally going to create a map of Sweden! Whoohoo! So many lovely Swedish people have asked me to creat a map of Sweden before and I finally be able to. It’s going to be great!

Hi everyone!
How’s your week so far?
I don’t have any new work at moment as you know it’s half-term holiday here. So most of my time I’m running around for my daughter and her tennis training and tournaments. I’m so exhausted and can’t wait to go back to work 😅.
So share this “oldie” with you today as I think the spring is coming soon! ☺️
