Ellie and Casey are back to talk about gender!
In this illustrated guide to gender identity, you'll meet demiboys and demigirls, agender people, greygender people, those who are AFAB and AMAB, and many more as Ellie and Casey guide curious children through the world of people who don't identify as their assigned gender at birth.
Featuring all the colours of the rainbow, this book teaches children about LGBTQIA+ identities through 17 different Pride flags. With fun facts, simple explanations and a short history of each flag accompanying beautiful illustrations, children will uncover the history of Pride and be introduced to different genders and sexual orientations. There's also a blank Pride flag design at the back of the book so that children can create their very own Pride flag!
Join Ellie and Casey as they introduce you to the wonderful world of pronouns. Learn about what pronouns are, how they relate to us, and why it's so important to get them right!

Cover design for a comic book called “Beyond This Place,'“ created as a collaboration between Willow and women of Edinburgh to allow them to tell their stories on using self directed support funding. The process involved a workshop I gave on storytelling through comics, along with learning the womens’ unique stories.

Now a bestseller, The Little Girl Who Gave Zero Fucks is a story about finding the courage to break from convention to choose your own way, encouraging people of all ages and genders to evaluate how many of their choices are based on the pressures of our society. Author Amy Kean writes;
This is the story of a brave young girl, Elodie-Rose, who one day decides to change the world and keep all her fucks in her basket.
“Hello to you, hello from me!
We’ve just one life, not two or three…
have you ever wondered what would be
if you took your fucks and set them free?
Would your head explode? Nose disappear?
Would weeds start growing behind your ears?
I wonder what everybody would say
if you showed how brave you are, one day.
If you grew so tall, everybody saw
that you are destined for much, much more.
When your heart is heavy and your story sucks
be the little girl who gave zero fucks.”

Versed in both digital and traditional painting, I love taking the time to depart from my usual more stylised work to explore realism in painting, from oil and gouache to ink and watercolour. Get in touch to commission a portrait.
