Double page spreads for my Children's Book, 'Lettuce the Lamb'.


These are two double page spreads I created whilst at Uni for a Children's book I created called 'Lettuce the Lamb'.

My first post is going to be quite lengthy, but as I am clearly behind on the whole blogging scene, I'm going to have to get you up to date with what work I have created so far in my very short freelance Illustrator career. So here it goes, hope you enjoy. =)
I probably should firstly introduce myself. My name's Jen, or as this blog is called, Mucky Pup. Not because  I am one, but because that is the name of my Illustration Designs and Website (please check it out...shameless plugging here). I'm a freelance illustrator trying to make it out there in the big, bad world of design. I graduated from Swansea Metropolitan University in 2010, having studied Illustration. But like most young ex-students, I wanted to delay going into the real world, so went travelling instead! Although, I have dreamed about going travelling since I was at school, so it wasn't really an excuse of not wanting to get a proper job, but something I REAAAALLY wanted to do, and after graduating was probably the best time.
I did the usual places, Australia and Thailand, as well as San Fransisco, Hawaii, Fiji, Bali and Singapore. Every country was amazing, but I especially loved Fiji and Australia...and Thailand...and San Fran was awesome...so everywhere basically!
 I'm not going to write you my life story, (before you start falling asleep) but basically, I've been home for a year and a half now, and I'm STILL trying to get that perfect design job...or something pretty close. So this blog will be me...rattling on...mainly about my illustrations, what I've been doing, and the probably the odd random one for absolutely no reason! So that's me. Oh, and I love music, live gigs, festivals, tea, vintage stuff, antique furniture, dogs and Midsomer Murders (not even slightly ashamed).
