Smaller than average illustrator who works for larger than life clients. Draws inspiration from the everyday and the odd.

I wanted to do a piece to support all the workers currently striking, which in the UK is quite widespread. Our Government has destroyed so many public sectors & now they are trying to stop us striking! #EnoughlsEnough #TeacherStrike #NursesStrike #illustrations

@BProtopsaltis Sorry, this is happening to you both. When my Mum had to go into a Dementia hospital ward, we made it look as much like home as poss; she spent a lot of time in bed, so we gave them her pillowcase/duvet cover, which made a big difference. You're doing the best thing for your Mum

@jasminefloyd_ Same! Phew

[Tilly @Running4Crayons]

@miss_magpie_spy Same here, I always find I want to create more the busier I am. Cheers!

[Tilly @Running4Crayons]

@miss_magpie_spy Awesome to hear you have a commission! I do as well thankfully, I'm working on some children's greetings cards. Hurrah for work!

[Tilly @Running4Crayons]

@blakekathryn Thank you for this tweet, I’m exactly the same, it’s awful! Here’s hoping we get booked lots in the spring 🤞

[Tilly @Running4Crayons]

@Alt_Aesthetics Yes hopefully, it’s full of so much awesome work!

[Tilly @Running4Crayons]

@hanwarr_ glad to hear you enjoyed it :-)

[Tilly @Running4Crayons]

@hanwarr_ well it wasn't super wordy, or too long & I didn't hear any nervous laughter, a really interesting talk, and it was great to see how your works developed :-)

[Tilly @Running4Crayons]

Twitter is so weird now, my feed is full of ads for male face and ear trimmers, WTF and instagram is a daily block of spam for cheap clothing based ads 🤢

[Tilly @Running4Crayons]

@hanwarr_ I signed up to that (if it’s the Inkygoodness one your talking about). Looking forward to it, even if it’s really long, super wordy with loads of pictures 😂

[Tilly @Running4Crayons]

@miss_magpie_spy Sorry to hear this Niki, your work is fantastic, I’m always really inspired by how proactive you are & how well you market yourself.
In the same boat here. I volunteer at an inclusive arts club, it’s awesome so I’m looking for similar roles as a paid income stream. Good luck.

[Tilly @Running4Crayons]

@whoisjamiejones It's been really quiet for me too. I started volunteering for an Arts Club for vulnerable people & they've just offered to start paying me, I'm also a book designer which has also been quiet but is thankfully picking up.

[Tilly @Running4Crayons]

@AliceStevo Your house is SO cute!

[Tilly @Running4Crayons]

@miss_magpie_spy Awesome! Can’t wait to see it.

[Tilly @Running4Crayons]

@miss_magpie_spy This is brilliant! I’ve only ever done southern India, would love to visit Delhi! The colours and all the details are wonderful 👏

[Tilly @Running4Crayons]

@miss_magpie_spy Have a look @an_artnews , if you are a member (only £30/40 also means you benefit from insurance) a year they have bursaries each month for this sort of thing.
