After returning from northern France, the lack of biodiversity/insect life in the UK is shocking. I can’t possibly convey the difference in one tweet so here’s a 🧵of just how nature depleted we are, even though the landscape, climate & species (historically) are almost identical

I love this letter CS Lewis sent to a young writer, especially this line:

"Much of my best work, or what I think is my best, is the rewriting of things begun years earlier."

@lizzystewart Hi Lizzy, hope you're well! It's really good to see your process. This is the before and after I usually share with new clients. It's mainly to convey that the roughs don't reflect final quality😆🎨✏️

@NinaCosford Love this! It sums what I’ve been feeling the last few days!

Hi illustrators,

Do you use Squarespace? If so, take a second today to inform them that you do not want AI to crawl through your content. It’s easy. Here’s a quick tutorial: 👇

Marvelous map by @researchremora shows the lighthouses of the UK. I love the eery feel of this map.

@taaryn_b Definitely experiencing this at the moment and wondering the same. It's that challenge of needing to earn a living but at the same time feeling that there are all these creative ideas that I want to see through but can't because of time and energy.

Hi illustrators,

There are FAR more children’s book publishers out there than the handful of household names.

Here’s a list of 250+ independent (and not-so-independent) children‘s book publishers: https://t.co/JxB4PJMijw

Happy researching!
