  • Simple Pleasures Calendar now in the shop! This is a very limited edition. Printed in the UK on 100% recycled paper they are a sweet size and I made sure there is enough space for writing appointments. I’ll be adding in more goodies into the shop tonight and tomorrow, but I wanted to catch the last post to the USA tomorrow. We will ship out to everywhere else ASAP too ✨ #2019calendar #aquietstyle #illo #illustrationnow #embracetheseasons #gemmakoomen
  • Months in the making.. some of my favourite paintings are so inspired by the magic I find in the changing seasons and it’s taken a while but I’ve finally managed to make them into a calendar for 2019! After a few delays it’s back from the printer and I’m so happy with it. I will share more in the morning. They will be in the shop tomorrow at 8pm along with some other nice things 🌟#gouachepainting #fosterthoughtfulness #originalartworks #holbeingouache #onmydesk #styleonmytable #celebratetheseasons #maketimeforart #slowandsimpledays #embracetheseasons #gemmakoomen
  • That time of day .. a simple little painting marking the darkness and drawing in all the creature comforts. I really hoped to have this made into a card, among others this year but things haven’t gone to plan and we had some issues with print quality that made me put the brakes on this year. I’ve really loved illustrating these winter cards over the last two years and I feel disappointed to not have brand new designs ready for this year but I didn’t want to compromise the quality. I’m waiting until next year and letting myself be at peace with that. I’ve really appreciated all your orders for my previous years cards in the shop tho, so thank you 🙏 #fosterthoughtfulness #gouachepainting #illo #illustrationnow #carveouttimeforart #maketimeforart #aquietstyle #greetingcarddesign
  • Seconds sale now live! Link in profile .. it’s the first time I’ve done this, so I’m a little nervous/excited 😬 I’ve discounted all the items that aren’t quite pristine enough to retail, there’s wild swimming zines, a few tiny notecards sets, some test prints and prints with damaged edges.. grab a bargain while you can 🧡 #secondssale #tictailstore #gemmakoomen
  • Mouse rider .. she had been lost and forgotten in my paper drawer, it’s nice to be reunited. #illo #illustrationnow #gouachepainting #studiotidyup #holbeingouache #maketimeforart #carveouttimeforart #asimplestill #asecondofwhimsey
  • Autumn Magic .. ok I cheated on last years design, I rejigged it to this sweet size and pared it down a bit. Like all my cards it is printed in the UK on 100% recycled card and protected with a biodegradable sleeve. I think I’ve finally managed to get everything back in stock now in my tictail shop after days of organisation, it’s feeling very seasonally up to date with all my favourite winter cards available again. Hoping for a big shop update with new things in early December, and a seconds sale tomorrow 🧡 and for those who have been keeping us busy with packing orders- thank you so much! #thatautumnmagic #greetingcard #embracetheseasons #magicautumn #greetingcards #illustrationnow #illo #asimplestill #seekthesimplicity
  • A foraged supper.. apparently November is one of the best months for foraging, with oyster mushrooms and winter chanterelles still to be found. I can’t quite imagine going out there today in the wild weather tho. November feels more like winter here, with autumn breeze giving way to icy winds, horizontal rain and mist swirling up the valley. We’ve all got colds today and appreciating being warm and cosy inside, it’s a good day for catching up with scanning all my personal work at last tho. #gouachepainting #gouacheillustration #holbeingouache #illo #illustrationnow #illustratorsoninstagram #novemberfeels #fosterthoughtfulness #asimplestill #foragedfood #foragedandfound
  • My little corner of things .. many hours of painting, drawing, writing, looking, thinking, crying, smiling happen here.. #whereiwork #artiststudio #asimplestill #fosterthoughtfulness #perfectlyimperfect #slowandsimpledays
