Time for a Picnic!
I'm super excited to announce that the long-awaited Picnic book from Promopress is here! The exceptionally talented duo Retina & Retinette (aka Júlia Solans & Juan Cardosa) have put together a stunning selection of contemporary illustration (including some pages from Pencil Pocket- yipee!). It's such a beautiful book, and such an honour to be included. I can thoroughly recommend curling up with a big mug of tea to enjoy the finished article - it's delightful from start to finish!
If you'd like to have one too, you can find it here!

Hello friends!
Hi everyone, and a super happy new years to you all. I'm SO touched to see so many old friends, new friends and talented faces following … It's been such a busy few months, so I've been practically invisible in blogland, and the real world alike. Who knew how intense bookmaking would be! I've been very blessed though. After a very steep learning curve(!), there's now 2 wonderful children's books in the pipeline and I've been lucky enough to work with some seriously talented authors and publishers, alongside my super-agent Teresa. I can't wait to share it all with you (keeping the art quiet is SUPER tough. I'm terrible at secrets!). Keep checking back for news! I'm going to try and get myself into a more regular doodle routine for the blog and twitter, and as soon as I can release any exciting sneek peeks, be sure that I will do!! Hope you're well!! Thanks for following, and lots of love x k

Took a quick break from painting this morning to come up with some Christmas card ideas.... I think there might be story potential here!

How green was my valley?
Very Green! We're just back from a spectacular week in North Wales. Lots of mountains, forests, lakes - such a great getaway and I found some great monster forest inspiration! There's so many photos, it'll be weeks before I search through them, but here's a few for your morning coffee! p.s. extra special mention for the cartoon mushroom in the last photo (red top, white base and spots... I thought they were fictional until we stumbled upon this little fellow and the rest of his family in the forest!).
Postcard from Snowdon
Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa) is incredible. We took the last photo from our iPhone and it looks just like a postcard ...but we were there, honest!

More Book News...
I have something extra-super exciting to announce.... not only do I have this wonderful project on the horizon with Henry Holt Books and the uber-talented Tiffany Strelitz Haber... I can now officially announce that I'm going to be illustrating my second book, So You Wanna Be a Rock Star, with Walker Books and the fabulous author Audrey Vernick!
Does it get any more exciting than this!!
I'm positively thrilled to be a part of both, and I can't wait to share more about these projects with you. Keep popping in for news and thanks to everyone who's been supporting me. Lots of love, Kirstie xo

Nellie
Hi all! Just made it back safely from Spain and thought I'd spring back into action with a cheeky little elephant pic! Had a wonderful holiday with my bestest friends in the world, camping under the stars and enjoying some nice long walks on the beach. Hope you're all having an excellent summer too! xo Kirstie ;-)

Flamingos
I did this for a project I'm working on, but we didn't need it in the end (altogether now ...aww!). I thought it might like to have it's premiere here instead. Parump-pa-pa-pa...! (that's my trumpet!) Have a nice Friday all! ;-)

Wedding Bells
Our friends are getting married this weekend - Congratulations Chloe & Andy!! There's a nice little story behind how they met too... Chloe is one of my friends, and Andy is one of Jonathans'.... so about 3 years ago, after accidentally writing their names together on the invite list, Jonathan and I shamelessly went about trying to set them up at my moroccan-themed birthday dinner (belly dancers included)! It worked - we ended up chaperoning their first date a week later and they've been together ever since... they've even beaten us down the aisle! ;-) Aww. It's very nice to see them graduate from our highly successsful school of matchmaking! Here's a little peek at our card:
