I love them all Emily but I'm drawn to Queen of the Night. Love the message in here and I can often be found gazing at the moon! 🌝

Thank you so much Louise 💛 I was scared of the dark when I was young, but I found a love of it for the same reasons as Nox. The moon is so beautiful and captivating - I love to moongaze too 💛💛💛

This is so gorgeous 🥰 I love the illustration and the story. Have you done any more illustrations to go with it. I’d love to see the animals.

Thanks so much Alix, I haven’t done the other illustrations yet, they’re on lu ever growing list 🥰 when I’ve done them I’ll share the story again. I kind of like the idea of turning the whole thing into a poem so perhaps I’ll work on that too!

Thanks so much Laura, I hadn’t planned in drawing her in the night time, it just kind of evolved that way, and the story grew from there 🌷

Funny how sometimes things seem to evolve that way isn’t it - it’s like you just have to get out of the way and then it develops.

So true. When I draw and write just because, and I only worry whether I like it, things turn out very differently

Same here! I’m trying really hard to do that at the moment - I’ve given myself an “artists retreat” where I’m just trying to draw whatever comes to mind and seeing where that takes me rather than forcing it down one particular route.
