🐞 One last little surprise... 🐶

Well... I couldn't help myself.

Day Thirty: Molly Hare & the Snail 🐌🤍

She’s one of the leading ladies from my Molly, Olive & Dexter books, so it only felt right to finish this year’s 30 Prints in 30 Days with Molly.

Day Twenty-Nine: Bryony, Betsy & Bethany Kittens 🐱🩷

Three playful kittens… and one very distracting dragonfly.

Day Twenty-Seven & Twenty-Eight: Amelia & Barry & Elizabeth & Douglas 🐹🦆

Two days for the price of one!

Day Twenty-Six: Lola, Lupin & Lucy Bunnies 🐇🤍

Three cuddly little bunnies, all tucked together in a cosy little huddle.

Day Twenty-Five: Carol, Amy & Tim Robins ❤️

I don’t think I’ll ever tire of drawing a robin (or three!) - there’s just something about them.

Day Twenty-Four: Vivian Fox 🦊🌸

There’s always something just a little knowing in a fox’s expression - I can never resist trying to capture it....

Day Twenty-Three: Beatrice & Belinda Dachshunds 🐾

I couldn’t possibly make it through 30 Prints in 30 Days without a dachshund... or two!

Day Twenty-Two: Joseph Bullfinch 🐦🌸

I love imagining Joseph singing his own happy little song, with nobody to impress and nowhere else to be...

Day Twenty-One: Kevin, Lloyd & Derek Owlets 🦉

If Ruby (Day 4) or Gwen & Rose (Day 9) found their way into your home, this cheeky little trio would make rather lovely company!

Day Twenty: Clovis Hedgehog 🌸

The magnolia blossoms in this print were inspired by the tree in my own garden.

Day Nineteen: Bryan Tiger 🐯

If you've been around for a while, you'll know how special tigers are to me...

Day Eighteen: Faye & Fin Pandas 🐼

Two panda prints, back to back... if you love pandas, these last two days have been for you.

Day 17: Mandy & Maddy Red Pandas

The red pandas have finally arrived…

Day 16: Abigail & Gracey Giraffes 🦒

One of the characters I've loved the longest...

Day 15: A Little Halfway Surprise

Two brand new prints to celebrate reaching the halfway point of this year’s collection.

Day 14: Lowry, Ottie & Phyllis

Three very different personalities... and a conversation I'd love to overhear....

Day 13: Una and Lydia Puppies 🐶

A new week...

Day 12: Thelma & Wilma Hares 🐇🤍

One brand new drawing. One little story. Every evening throughout July.

Day Eleven: Stephanie & Mikey Ducks 🦆💛

One very proud mum...
