I finally coloured my illustration from last year's #folktaleweek! 🍂

My street is covered in autumn leaves at the moment, and they're some of my favourite colours to paint with, so I couldn't resist. I really like the greyscale version still though! Both for different reasons.

Hiiii! There's only a few days left of my s@le! I'm officially going on maternity leave in November, so my page will be going into holiday mode for probably around a year.

SO if there were any of my pieces you had your eye on, or if you were looking for plastic-free, supporting small business type Christmas presents take a look! :)

Thank you so much to everyone who's grabbed something so far! I've had a few things sell out completely which has meant so much (and made me feel a little more like I can breathe walking into my studio haha).

Thank youuuu! Emmeline x

SALE

I'm running a really big sale in my shop before I have my baby and close my shop for a year!

Art, comics, books, pins, stickers and stationery up to 50% off and many limited items won't ever be restocked!

Things my 3yo has shouted in public!

I only have FOUR of these super cute Autumnal notepads left!

They each have 50 pages and a good solid cardboard backing, so you can fill them with all your Autumnal plans (yay pumpkin picking, yay muddy puddle splashes, yay cinnamon drinks!).

I won't be getting them restocked for a couple of years (with maternity leave and all!) so if you fancy one, now is ABSOLUTELY the time :)

Hi everyone! I've found myself out of work after a big job I was working on unexpectedly fell through. With a new baby due in December it's obviously been really quite tough. SO I'm reaching out to see if you know of anything that might fit!

I'm mostly looking for: - Illustration commissions (business or personal!). Especially things like book covers etc. - Comics related work I can fit in before December (covers, scripts, flats/colouring, workshops etc). - Portraits! Personal commissions (taking Christmas gift bookings now!) or live event illustration. - Short term storyboarding for businesses or last minute assists with animation (props, backgrounds, characters etc).

Or let me know if you have anything you think might suit!

Some nice personal news :)

Ammonites mini comic by Emmeline Pidgen

Hi everyone! I’ve made a ten page mini comic about a Victorian era fossil hunter and the idea of home. You can also grab it as a free PDF download on my Ko-Fi page.

Over the past few years I’ve done loads of comics work, but I haven’t been able to share it as it was for book pitches/under NDA. I felt like my portfolio wasn’t showing my best work anymore and I was getting a bit self-conscious about it.

After learning about a certain ammonite fact (that you’ll see in the story) I was inspired to make this mini comic that weaves in my love of history, cool fossils and stories about plucky kids! I've also lived in four different counties and about 13 different houses, so I find the idea of what is home really interesting. I carry each of those places with me!

I hope you enjoy it!

#artvsartist I've been doing a lot that I can't show you this year (writing books/working on animations etc!) and I've gone through some tough stuff...but looking back I did more for-fun illustrations than I thought this year! Mermaids, cuddles and Mama/Baby were big themes!

My first new illustration in a while! This was inspired by this verse of the song Wildflowers by The Walin' Jennys (originally by Tom Petty).

You belong among the wildflowers

You belong somewhere close to me

Far away from your trouble and worry

You belong somewhere you feel free

We sang this in the Singing Mamas group I go to, and since I heard it I've been singing my son to sleep with it. It just makes me feel emotional thinking of my son and everything I hope for him. 

Hopefully this brings back some balmy Summer feelings 🌞💖

Hey it's #KidLitArtPostcard day!

I make books and comics for young people. Couple of books on sub and looking for illustration work in the meantime! 🌻
