      @Nyrryl-Cadiz Thank you so much for your kind welcome! I clicked your instagram link, but it doesn't work? But you had left some love on instagram as well, so I found you anyway πŸ™‚ I love your work too, it's so lively! Especially the one with everyone in the kitchen.

        @WenSylvestre welcome! I’m very new as well! I’ve seen your Instagram and absolutely love your work! I mean...anyone who paints foxes and cats can be my friend πŸ˜‚
        Making mess it’s what it’s all about! Enjoying the whole process of making a piece of art is also important...honestly, you should see my desk πŸ˜‚

          @AnnaFleet lol πŸ˜‚ Desk? What desk? I can't find my desk anymore πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‰ Thank you for your kind welcome! I see a lot of foxes and cats in your feed as well πŸ™‚ I love the looseness of your ink work! Great characters as well.

            @WenSylvestre πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ yes I have desk...can’t remember what colour it is tho...πŸ˜€ Thanks for popping over to my Instagram too, and yes, loose is definitely the right word! I do love the highly rendered and detail pieces but I don’t think I’d have the patience to do them myself, I’ve done few fan art pieces in the past that took a long time and a lot of details and I had to rest for days afterwards πŸ˜€
            I’m not sure however if the β€œloose” style would do for children’s books so maybe I do need to sort myself out?

                @AnnaFleet I don't know for sure, but I think it will be no problem. Do you know the work of Helen Stephens? She is a published children's book illustrator and she has that looseness of inky lines too. You can find her on https://www.helenstephens.com/

                        Hi, Wen! Nice to meet you! I love your approach to controlled messes. I'm personally focusing on making more mess! (Because I'm naturally a control freak.) I looked at your Insta, you've got some great stuff on there. Can't wait to see what else you create!

                            @baileymvidler Hi Bailey, thank you! It's too easy to try to make everything perfect, which it will never be, lol πŸ™‚ Love your work and I love the nature / fairytale vibe you have on your insta.
