ART
What equipment do you use?
These pens, mainly for outlining and inking.
The stars in most of my art are done by patience and white and silver gel pens from Tesco.
These are the pencils that I use. Using the white and silver for stars again.
I also use these markers by Prismacolor.
Most of my watercolours and acrylics are ones that I have gathered from art shops over the year (mainly WHSmiths).
​
I normally use WHSmiths for my drawing pads too. Which are 135gsm, acid free sketch pads.
​
How long does a piece take you?
My normal A4 star animals can take up to 4 hours, this is mainly due to me getting distracted and all the little details I like to include.
Smaller drawings can take anywhere from 1-3 hours.
​
Where does your inspiration come from?
Half the time my inspiration comes from the things I love, like animals and movies, from there I just tend to add other things nature provides, such as shrooms, stars, and rot.
Ideas usually come to me at random times so my phone is filled with small sketches ready to be turned into art.
WRITING
How do you write your stories?
I never force it. I constantly carry a small notebook with me (phone also), to write down any ideas that come to my head. From here I will usually read over my notes over and over until my head expands on the idea. I find that writing on paper actually helps my ideas flow out a lot easier.
​
Where does your inspiration come from?
All over the place. Some stories are a lot more realistic than others, this is just due to the inspiration kicking in if I see a news story or anything like that.
​
Which authors do you take inspiration from?
Phillip Pullman, J. R. R. Tolkien, Angie Sage, and J.K. Rowling, write fantasy series that I find most interesting, however I do not read as much as I would like to.
Micheal Morpurgo's animal perspective novels are ones that I have always loved reading.
SHOP
When will your shop be open?
Very soon, I am in the process of creating art ready for it.
​
Will you ship internationally?
Yes, although I have only done this a few times before.
​
What will your international prices be?
Depending on the weight, £2-5. However any import taxes you might encounter are yours to pay.
