I was recently asked by a client if they could have a photo of me working on the illustration they were commissioning (more on this soon). I work in a room at home, which is lovely but also has it’s downsides. It is the reality for a lot of creatives though, particularly at a time when many of us can’t justify the cost of a shared studio space. So let’s talk about ways to make this sometimes isolating, not very glamorous work situation more positive.

I recently started walking to work with Charlie and then just turning round and walking (or running!) right back home again. This is cool because we get to have a nice little chat and I have a bit of fresh air for 40 minutes (even if he does leave the house at 7:20! 🫠) but basically, a walk for a walk’s sake is a good start the day.

Stop for lunch. I suck at this (some followers may remember I also suck at lunch full stop - what else is there apart from eggs?!) but I’m trying to have lunch in a different room at actual lunch time. Impressive I know.

FaceTime another pal that works from home. This is my greatest hack for any of you that find working from home a lonely experience. And I really want to be real about this because it is lonely. A scheduled call with a friend once a week can make a big difference.

Permit yourself to leave the house. I have a productivity problem that renders me glued to my desk so that I feel like I’m doing things even if I’m not. Just over a year ago I joined a choir (it’s in a pub, I highly recommend this) and I’ve recently started going to yoga more regularly. This human interaction comes without massive social demands but means I get to be around a variety of people as a regular part of my week.

Audiobooks - this year I have listened to every single David Sedaris book he’s written so needless to say I think he’s quite brilliant. I like non-fiction best so that I can simultaneously focus on work.

Read (/listen to!) 4000 Weeks’ by Oliver Burkeman I really really meant it.

If you’ve got any other hot tips pleeeeease let me know!!

It’s been a little while since I posted about Stormy Seas, but if there’s ever a time to talk about this project, it’s in a week where we are seeing CHILDREN at racist, right-wing, anti-immigration protests.

It’s so hard to make sense of the hatred spilling onto the streets in the UK this week. You only have to look at our media to understand how these abhorrent views are fuelled. But the fact that they are being passed on to and enacted by children is truly disturbing. Never has education on the subject of immigration and asylum been more crucial.

I worked on this book back in 2016, when the Brexit vote happened and Trump came to power. It was published in 2017 and has since seen multiple foreign language editions, much to mine and MaryBeth’s delight.

If you’re looking for a book to help your children understand the importance of this subject, please do consider Stormy Seas. Compassion is such a beautiful antidote to the hatred.

I worked on this book back in 2016, when the Brexit vote happened and Trump came to power. It was published in 2017 and has since seen multiple foreign language editions, much to mine and MaryBeth’s delight.

If you’re looking for a book to help your children understand the importance of this subject, please do consider Stormy Seas. Compassion is such a beautiful antidote to the hatred.

It’s been a little while since I posted about Stormy Seas, but if there’s ever a time to talk about this project, it’s in a week where we are seeing CHILDREN at racist, right-wing, anti-immigration protests.

It’s so hard to make sense of the hatred spilling onto the streets in the UK this week. You only have to look at our media to understand how these abhorrent views are fuelled. But the fact that they are being passed on to and enacted by children is truly disturbing. Never has education on the subject of immigration and asylum been more crucial.

My most recent illustration for @wwf - Conservation leader Avecita Chicchón on conservation that lasts 🌍🌿

I love illustrating great people!

Avecita Chicchón is a longtime advocate for environmental conservation and sustainable livelihoods across Latin America. She has played a central role in designing and implementing Project Finance for Permanence (PFP) initiatives that help finance protected areas across the Andes and Amazon—bringing governments, communities, and funders together to solve complex challenges and create lasting impact. She leads the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation’s Andes-Amazon Initiative.

The second illustration I created with @pieshopdesigns for the Latin and Caribbean Oil Rush series for the @guardian

‘If they pollute our rivers, what will become of us?’: the town divided between hope and fear in Brazil’s Amazon oil rush’

As a state-controlled company explores for oil in the fragile Equatorial Margin the government struggles to balance its ecological promises with fossil fuel expansion. In Oiapoque, the stakes could not be higher

The latest cover illustration for @theparliamentmagazineeu - this one explores the recruitment crisis of females in armies across Europe.

Really enjoyed this one! I’ve included my preferred colour palette option at the end.

And a happy sunny Friday to you all! 🌞Earlier this year I worked on a really fun illustration with @katiekalupson_timemag for Food Fanatics magazine. As well as a full page opener, I also created these spot portraits for the feature. Swipe to see the whole spread!

Thanks Katie! #foodfanaticsmag #foodfanatics #editorialillustration #eleanorshakespeare

A very enjoyable illustration for the journal last week, and as usual a super tight turnaround!

This was for a brilliant piece about friction maxxing by Gaby Hinsliff. ‘I baulked at the idea of ‘friction-maxxing’. But there’s more to it than meets the eye.’

Earlier this week I worked on an illustration with @gerrylb for the @newstatesman - it was a book review about ‘London Falling’ by Patrick Radden Keefe, and to be honest it took all my strength to actually work on the illustration and not go out and buy the book immediately.

‘Patrick Radden Keefe’s obituary for Britain
In London Falling, the American journalist presents the capital as a dying, amoral city’

Gerry always gives me such great briefs, and the nature of them means I get to be more expressive than a lot of other fast turnaround editorial work. I’ve included some in progress screenshots for you to see some of the different outcomes before we settled on the final

New work for a new client! This was an illustration exploring the lack of transparency about how much things actually cost in magazines for @dwellmagazine

I’ve included another worked up rough at the end which I preferred, but the client had a very specific vision for this and I’m always happy to make that vision a reality!

The Latin and Caribbean oil rush

‘Ready to be exploited’: amid rust, weeds and power cuts, Venezuelans hope for a new oil boom
The infrastructure is crumbling and the government shaky, but memories exist of an industry that once thrived off Venezuela’s vast reserves of crude – and could do again, despite the climate crisis

The most recent cover illustrations for The Parliament magazine - ‘Stacked against US - Europe’s struggle for digital independence’

I always find it tricky to work on illustrations with no human element. Faces always draw you in, and failing that, hands can be really expressive and create that sense of human connection. This one relies really heavily on shape and texture, and despite some initial skepticism on my part, I’m actually really pleased with how it turned out!
