I like drinking ☕️, eating Haribo, and being an illustrator

Happy St George's Day to my English friends near and far. I hope you enjoy a nice cup of tea and a scone and please try not to slay any actual dragons (metaphorical ones are fine) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🫖🐉

PS I also do all sorts of other design work like #logos, #cards, #stationery, #leaflets, #posters, #websites, #emailers, #labels, #packaging, #merchandise, #invitations, #livery, and loads of other similar stuff too.

Stay #lucky🍀

Did you all have a happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year? It all seems like ages ago and I've only been back at work a day and a half 😬

It's 2024 whether you like it or not so we may as well all make the best of it. I hope this year is a lucky one for everyone, and...

...if it is, businesses will flourish and there will be a demand for all manner of lovely #illustrations, #cartoons and #characterdesign. If you know anyone who needs these then please send them my way. 👍

You gotta be careful celebrating when your arms are sticks and you’re made of snow 😀 I illustrated these crazy snowmen and this is a super speedy process video 😎❄️⛄️

I’m sketching some ideas for a couple of new reindeer characters. Here’s a happy little guy created on an iPad Pro using Procreate. Too early to be in a Christmas frame of mind? 🎄

If you need any beer bottle labels, pump clips or any other beer-related illustration and design I'm here to help (it's possible I might work for beer) 😀

I've been updating the work examples on my website. Here's a selection of portfolio pics on the page dedicated to my beer-themed illustrations and designs 📷

I've been updating my website today 🤓 There's a load of projects I've previously worked on that I still need to add. Here's the first new portfolio page example showing a fab character design project I worked on a little while back.

Working on a Christmas card #illustration in September 😬🎄🎅🏻 It feels odd but you have to get in early apparently 👍

Here’s some speedy work in progress videos and a look at the final illo.

Hello

I've just sent my first emailer in 2023. I actually created it back at the start of May but I’ve not sent it because for a couple of months I’ve had my mind on other things.

I don’t normally share much of my personal life when I’m trying to promote my business, but...

[Ant Creations (Nathan Shelton) @Ant_Creations]

and to keep moving forward with positivity and passion. The emailer is usually meant to be light, fun and something that’s enjoyable to read, and I want to keep that vibe and make people happy to receive it.

I created a little sketch using Procreate on the iPad Pro yesterday. Here's a quick video showing my lightning-fast illustration 😀

I've posted a look at the final coloured sketch in the comments 👍

Please like/share/comment and be sure to message me if you want to chat 😎

The first pic shows the actual #illustration/#design and the other pic is an example of the design on a large repeat.

I think I might look into supplying #wrappingpapermanufacturers Anyone know someone I should contact? #pugdog #pugdogs #wrappingpaperdesign #wallpaperdesign

[Ant Creations (Nathan Shelton) @Ant_Creations]

I've always had an interest in #seamless#patterns. I love elaborately #patterned #wallpaper and also any #funky #wrappingpaper. I've dabbled a little with creating my own #seamlessdesign so I wanted to share some of my experiments with you.

Here's some #pugs on a 🌈#rainbow bg
