This summer has been a true whirlwind of wedding stationery and illustration commissions galore - and one I am so thankful for after the past couple of years. I've also been working on a bit of a personal project since the start of the year... and am now heading into a bit of a break to have a baby (eek!) All this has meant that I've been quiet as a tiny little mouse on these squares (so much goodness to share, so little time, argh!)... but at some point I'll try to share as much of 2022 as I can. So for now... This copy of @countrylifemagazine has been sitting waiting for a moment to photograph all month, and this afternoon the sunshine aligned with a clear table for some speedy snaps. A true summer treat to bring this cover story about the Caledonian Canal to life via a map (my fave of course!) full of Scottish details 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦌🦕🛶- swipe for some close ups of the print magazine and the original illustrations. My commission book is now closed until the spring (so scary!) with work being booked in from April 2023 onwards. I’d love to hear from you if you’d like to work together next summer - you might just have to be patient with how quickly I can reply 🤪 [with big thanks to @emilyrose_anderson for this commission + art direction as always] #countrylife #caledoniancanal #illustrationdaily #editorialillustration #mapmaking #illustratedmaps #maternityleave
