Hello! I just did a big studio tidy, as the studio has got super cluttered and my brain was melting out of my ears. I have finished a couple of spreads for the new book I’m working on and am going to switch to some sketching for a bit, and I needed to clear a bit of space for it. Ironically, for a cluttered person, I hate working in clutter! I said that to my husband the other day (that I hate working in chaos) and he raised his eyebrows! And I explained, there’s a difference between creating chaos as you work, and beginning work in chaos!
I admit, I got a little distracted in my tidying with a re-organisation of my slightly out of-hand-(but also something that gives me great pleasure) book collection. So I thought I would make a little video with a little tour of the books, talking you through my makes-sense-to-me organisation of them, I pull out a few to show you, and generally chat books. I like to make posts that I know I would like if someone else made them, so this is for anyone like me who likes a nosey into people’s creative spaces!
Ok, enough waffle, on with the video!

I’m posting this for free, as I fancy sharing it with everyone. But if you enjoy this, you might like the rest of my Substack where I post behind-the-scenenes videos like this on the regular. My membership is £4.50 a month or £45 per year, which is basically the price of a fancy coffee these days!
I would love it if you would consider becoming a paid subscriber. I really appreciate every subscription and see it as a little affirmation that I am on the right track. Read all about my history here. All subs help me to continue making illustrated books, and creating posts here on Substack. And as well as supporting me, you get benefits too. What?! Yes, you heard me! You get access to my big back catalogue of paid posts, and access to my monthly Zoom sessions: Art Club and Picture Book Club. And if you can’t attend live, all sessions are recorded and posted afterwards.
