Illustration À la Annaliese

While I’m waiting to move into my new place & my permanent studio, I thought I’d show you my lovely temporary space where I’ve been illustrating away for the last few weeks!

I’ve been sharing this great little space (which I part-pay for with a weekly installment of cake) in the heart of the country with some free-range ducks, a lovely excitable puppy and a talented artist. Being in the heart of the country and with the recent frost, when I’m working in here late at night I tend to go for the Michelin-man look with 3 jumpers under my coat, a thick hat and Fagin-style fingerless gloves. I’m currently considering growing a real moustache to give extra warmth to my face. But I love it, it’s been a great place to get on with my book, and so exciting to have my first space post-uni dedicated to creating.
