See what I'm up to on Instagram

Can't believe this is happening - only 3 weeks left of university and my book baby is in its final stages. Here is a colour scheme for my picture book "How Maud met Anne", a story for young aspiring authors and creative children about how Lucy Maud Montgomery got her first novel "Anne of Green Gables" published. It's a story about persistence, rejection, passion, and the belief that you will arrive one day. Not only is she a true inspiration to me, her books and short stories have given me hours of joy, and countless tears and laughs. I've read most of her novels and countless short stories. I hope this book will find a wonderful publisher and be appreciated, loved, and read by the ones who need it. Although only at the start of my journey, I, like Maud, believe that I'll arrive one day. Thank you so much for your continued support and for following me on this journey of becoming a full-time freelance illustrator. The next 3 weeks will be intense but I'm looking forward to this baby being born.

A perfect morning, I would say with @flow_magazine (cover illustration by @annembentley) a @twiningsteauk lady grey in my @emma_bridgewater Mrs mug I got for our wedding + the nicest greek yogurt I've tasted in a while, thank you Rachel's organic. I like the honey one.

Today I'm going to decide the colour palette for my picture book and then start on the finals for my dummy. Can't believe it's less than a month till my final university deadline and finally working full-time as a freelance illustrator. I know, I've not been posting a lot but I really enjoy seeing your pictures which motivated me to share a special moment from time to time like today, when life feels good and full of possibility after a stretch of feeling a bit low.

If you like illustration please watch my Instagram stories for behind the scenes and my YouTube channel "Romica Spiegl-Jones" for vlogs, freelance talk and updates :) hope you have an amazing day

New video on the blog :) This time about a more challenging subject of freelancing: lower back pain. I've been struggling with decreased mobility due to back pain after coming back from Paris and wasn't sure if I can make it to Bologna. As you know, I did make it, it got better but then it came back again. In this video I share how I have dealt with this situation, a glimpse at the book I'm working on, and when the Bologna videos are going to be up. I hope you are all doing well - especially the illustrators among you, take good care of yourselves:)
