Gabby Grant

I'm thinking about re-jigging the About Me bit on my website to look like this: A long time ago, I did a university course in art & cultural history. After I left, I had a number of office jobs, but never quite felt like I was in the right place.

@GabbysDrawings alright you can stop it now, horror author Gabby Grant

What is the thing you struggle, and I mean STRUGGLE to draw? Like, erase it and draw it 50 times struggle? Mine is plaits. Even with a how-to, my brain is like

@natsmillie needed first thing tomorrow, seventeen rounds of revisions after everyone in the office has offered their opinion, fee thirty-five quid

@natsmillie *New brief appears in inbox* Can you do us a horse with hands and a plaited mane driving a car full of footballs?

Hi all! I've had some unexpected medical expenses come up & cash flow rn is 👎 If you'd like to support me you can check out my 🦇shoppe🦇 🔗 below. (To support *future* me you can pre-order our upcoming graphic novel!)

@RobinsonKH @chloillustrates @Munkey_Pants Heh, just posted about Threads - not sure I want to be reminded of horrifying cautionary films from the 80s every time I check social media...

@chloillustrates @Munkey_Pants Oh, it’s in the news today. Zuckerberg’s new answer to Twitter. Launching Thursday apparently!

Is anyone still here and actually seeing posts!? 😅 I've just popped this on Instagram... changed a character sketch into a fiction spread 😊 #kidlitart #kidlit #fictionillustration #middlegradebooks #illustration

So a possible alternative to this place is to be called threads which I find offputting because I don't want to feel like I'm being traumatised in the 1980s.

A dancing stick I found the other day when doing some long overdue tidying up in the garden.

@BunniesKitchen Hope all goes as well as possible!

@gingertotty Oh wow

Driving back home today lads… prepare for whinging about the return to real life and having to earn a living and all that… but also, maybe I can find some time to paint some more stuff (have been showing my fam the pictures, this is my favourite so far)…

@LevParikian I honestly thought this was some strange medieval marginalia until I saw the caption and the lined paper.

A short curved line that got seriously out of hand.

@TomEaston It belongs to the cat now

@timbudgen @Karlwheel @LittleTigerUK @Plum_Agency Excellent news!

This has been something we’ve been keeping a secret for a few months now but I signed a contract for this, this morning. 🤩🤩🤯 @Karlwheel and I have been wanting to do a picture book together for over ten years- and now it’s happening ! 😀😀😭 @LittleTigerUK

@Valster11 I hope you're on the upward swing from the horrible job (also, I do miss the book stall on Chesterfield Market)

And underlining text. Last year in that job was awful beyond belief, but I might finally be getting over it, and this book really helped, which led me to feel really grateful I did stumble across this one on Chesterfield market.

In all my (many) years reading Mills & Boon, I've never read one from the Blaze series before, so here we go... Mick "The Hellraiser" Chivers (the chap with the pigeon tattooed on his back on the cover) has been hired by Sarah Jane's dodgy step -mother...

O no! An inkcident!

Drawing's felt a bit hard work lately, so am doing some doodling things that aren't too planned out that are just for me (and maybe red bubble if they go ok). Also, a glimpse of the creative wonderland* that is my desk. *which is to say a wilderness of pencils and cables

@GaryPanton Checks out. The world clearly needs a tapas restaurant that does all the good starters. Also I want gyoza now.

Hold Birb Gentle Like Hamburger.

Drew a Short Sunderland flying boat at @RAFMUSEUM although I don't think this quite conveys the entire chonkiness of the thing. I love flying boats, I really do. #absoluteunit
