Taking Part In Joanne Hawker's ' March Meet The Maker ' Project 2018


March was a busy month for me, lots of deadlines, lots of places to go - but I was thrilled to finally take part in Joanne Hawker's March Meet The Maker project on Instagram! Jo's a schoolfriend of mine, we grew up together and were berated by the same graphic design teacher for being silly together in class - so it's been amazing to see her project connecting so many creative people across the world who are just so passionate about making!

March Meet The Maker is basically a month of prompts for people (generally Etsy sellers) to reveal the person behind the products and let their followers know a little more about them, their creations, their passions and work environment! I took part in as many days as I could (it was a little tricky to do every day, especially with visits to Cornwall to see my Granny), and had such wonderful feedback.

It often feels easier for me to fill my Instagram feed with commissions, scrappy illustrations and prints, so it was quite a change for me to be like "Okay, here's my workspace! Here's how I create these images! Here's the park I love walking to on my break!" and get such insight into how so many other creatives go about their day to days.

It was brilliant to scroll through the hashtag and discover so many new talented creative people, and it really drove home the strength of the creative community. Here's to makers!
Hey! It's me! So I'm taking part in @joannehawker's #MarchMeetTheMaker for the first time. I barely ever post personal stuff, let alone pictures of myself, so I thought it was about time you guys got the chance to get to know me a little. I live in the North West of England (although I've lived in lots of different places); I'm a full-time illustrator and I love to draw and create worlds in my work; I'm always learning - recently I've been reading up/listening to podcasts about psychology, 18th century history and space. I'm also learning German! I love being in the woods; I can play the flute, glockenspiel and guitar; my favourite videogame right now is The Witcher 3; I volunteer to raise money for my local library; I suffer from anxiety; I'm writing a graphic novel and a picture book; it took me ages to find a photo to post; I love noticing small things and taking time to listen to people; and, um, I like roast potatoes. Maybe that's enough, but you can ask me anything! 💛 #meetthemaker #etsyseller #illustrator #artist #designer #comicartist #illustration #marchmeetthemaker2018

    Hello everyone, I would like to share my impressions and recommend you one review on one of the best bookmakers in my opinion - register in Melbetin, as a newbie in the world of betting and gambling, I was always looking for clear instructions on how to get started. My experience with Melbetin was very positive as their personalized beginner's guide was very detailed and accessible. I recommend register with confidence to quickly understand how to use the site and place your first bets.
