March Meet the Maker 2018

Whoops, my blog has been in a state of hibernation for a couple of months. I was on holiday all of June, and then July was spent catching up with everything I should have been doing in June... so let's get this thing started up again!

***

This year I took part in March Meet the Maker over on Instagram. It was started by Joanne Hawker and is a month's worth of prompts that let your followers learn more about you. I thought it would be good to put everything here as well, as it's so easy for things to get lost in an Instagram feed!

So we'll start off with March 1, 'You' and all the rest will be under the cut.

I thought I’d try and do #marchmeetthemaker this year, so first up: Hi! 💜 I’m Alison Mutton. I’m a children’s illustrator who also has a degree in graphic design. I love drawing pictures for kids, whether it’s a picture book (I’m seen here at the launch for Sioban Timmer’s ‘Feral Fergus’ which I illustrated) or educational publishing. I have often worked with self publishers and I love helping people to realise their book dream and giving them a final product they can be proud of. I also do portraiture (both pets and people) and needle felting. And I play the piano (but I draw much better!) 💜 . . . #marchmeetthemakerday1 #childrensillustrators #childrensillustrator #kidlitartist #illustrator #artist #artistsoninstagram #illustratorsoninstagram
