What Katie Drew

So, by now you’ve all seen my new header, right? It was created by the wonderful Katie who In her own words says:
“I’m an illustrator & designer based in NE England.  I was born in Edinburgh and studied animation before choosing to focus on illustration. I’m currently in my third and final year of Illustration & Design at Sunderland University and i’m looking forward to graduating and getting out into the big wide world”

Her work includes these stunning animal creations, including the cutest kitty pet portrait (when we get a new cat, I’m totally commissioning her)

Katie’s talents don’t stop there though…she created these gorgeous pictures for my blog as well as my new header, which I challenged her to do with very vague ideas of what I actually wanted!



This sketch is by Katie’s equally talented friend, Jamie.

Fancy some artwork of your own? Katie has an etsy shop; although currently it is fairly empty, this is going to change, soon!

You can also drop her an e-mail on katiedraws.hello(at)gmail.com with specific requests…she’s really very friendly so don’t be shy!

What do you think? I’ve never been drawn before so it was surreal to see myself in a 2D form. A massive thank you to Katie; I promise not to pester you too much!
