Any good proposal stories to share? It would appear engagement season is in full swing as these little penguins have been flying (or swimming perhaps?) out of my store. Did you know quite a few penguin breeds “propose” by presenting a pebble to their chosen mate, which are then used to make their nests for breeding. Too much cute 😍🐧❤️ . . . . . #greetingcards #shopsmall #artistdesk #greetingcardsforsale #supportthemakers #shoppingwithsoul #illustratedlife #illustratorsofinstagram #craftyfoxtrader #topdrawerlondon #topdrawer #topdrawer2019 #illustratorsoninstagram #illustrateddoris #deskie

New year, same me... a bit more of some stuff, and a bit less of other stuff... I’m not a huge fan of making hard and fast resolutions, especially at this time of year, but a few goals aren’t a bad idea.

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house... not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse! Merry Christmas everyone, wishing you a lovely peaceful day with family and friends (and perhaps some cheese) 🐭🎄 . . . . . . . #christmasillustration #seasonsgreetings #twasthenightbeforechristmas #kidlitart #kidlit #kinderbuch #kinderbuchillustration #childrensbookillustration #childrensbookillustrator #illustration_best #best_of_illustrations #illustratorsoninstagram #goillo #procreate #picturebook #advent_challenge #advent_challenge2018 #childrenswritersguild
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Especially, if you’re a cat... Any cat/tree disasters out there yet?! 🎄🐱 . The third prompt from #advent_challenge and the first thing that popped into my head! . . . . . . . #catillustration #caturday #caturdayeveryday #holidayillustration #createchristmas #matsicb #makeartthatsells #kidlit #kidbook #childrensbookillustration #kidlitart #childrensart #moreillustrations #best_of_illustrations #childrensillustration #illustrationartists #childrenswritersguild #illustration #picturebookart #picturebooklove #kinderbuch #matskidbook #illustrationforchildren #advent_challenge2018
Is your tree up yet!? 😂🎄 I’m amazed that 4 years after I first created this illustration for Christmas cards, they still sell every year like hot cakes, or mince pies, or whatever particular pastry kinda thing you’re into... Anyhoo, we’re coming up to the last UK posting dates! So if you still need some cards, get yer orders in soon. You’ll find my store by following the link in my bio and clicking on shop ☃️📮 . . . . #holidayillustration #penguin #penguinsofinstagram #createchristmas #makeartthatsells #shoppingwithsoul #craftyfoxtraders #kidlitart #childrensart #moreillustrations #best_of_illustrations #illustrationartists #illustration #penguinillustration #holidaycard #christmascards #smallbusiness #shopsmall #supportthemakers #christmasgreetings
Last little updated piece from some older #matsicb3 illustrations. You can see them all up on my website now in the Children’s Book section. Think I’m going to create a scene for Eleanor too as I don’t much like the one I originally created, and it’s such a cool little story to illustrate. Basically Eleanor really really wants a pet and through a few twists and turns, ends up with an elephant, giraffe and sea lion! And when I’m done with that, I’m going to actually start on my own book which has been rumbling (and developing!) around my head for quite some time (or maybe I’ll procrastinate a little more, who knows 🙈) . . . . . . #matsicb #makeartthatsells #kidlit #kidbook #childrensbookillustration #kidlitart #childrensart #moreillustrations #best_of_illustrations #childrensillustration #illustrationartists #childrenswritersguild #illustration #picturebookart #picturebooklove #kinderbuch #matskidbook #goillo #illustrationforkids #illustrationforchildrensbooks
