Hello!

I’m JB and I’m a freelance illustrator. I love picture books and children’s illustration - narrative work makes me very happy! I love folklore, and in particular how the natural world was interpreted before we knew today’s scientific explanations. I create character work and illustrations inspired by nature (moss and bird enthusiast over here!).

What I will share on Substack

I have a monthly newsletter round-up, which is famously written on the last day of the month (I will never learn). This monthly round-up, The OG Wobbly Line, is free and will always be free. It includes creative updates, personal updates and a process video to boot. If you want to see more, you can upgrade to a paid subscription (£4.87/mo) where I share more in depth process videos of my illustration process, the occasional podcast ramble and/or audio.

Big love, JB
