Hello! I'm Emily, an artist from Surrey, UK.

I love to illustrate flora, fauna and folklore! ✒️🐉

A black and white ink illustration of a pumpkin kid sat on a fallen log in a clearing in a birch wood. Two little hedgehogs approach from the left and look up at the kid. Eyes glow in-between the trees in the shadows. Is something else there?

A photograph of a black and white ink illustration with a Staedtler pigment liner resting on top. A flood dragon poses to be drawn on top of a pile of books on the artist's desk.

A black, white and silver ink and watercolor illustration of a Selkie transforming into a seal infront of a full moon. The body of the seal follows the shape of the moon and a woman's hand pulls a seal head towards her head like a hood.

A black and white ink illustration of a cat dragon.

The goblin snail train is arriving at the station.
Please board the snail train by doodling your own carriage and then pass it on!

I'd seen another @rossydoesdrawings.bsky.social goblin train departing from the station many months ago, but I missed that one! I loved seeing everyone contributing their wonderful goblins to it so thought I'd jump on this time.

The goblin train is leaving the station, all aboard the goblin train!

A photograph of a pencil and a blue ribbon resting on a small sketchbook page. The page has an illustration of a little goblin with curly hair smiling. The goblin is wearing a striped pointy hat, a stripey t-shirt and shorts. They are sat on a cushion in a little wooden cart holding on to a piece of rope attached to the cart. The cart has a hook at the front to attach to the previous goblin carriage and a loop at the back to attach the next one! Art by Emily Jane Foster.

In crimson, orange and bronze, autumn had arrived.
Fox had spent a rather enjoyable morning searching for the perfect collection of leaves.
She'd finally found it.
With a joyful soul and playful heart, she jumped.
In one fine leap, she pounced to catch her shadow.

Had a excellent weekend painting a #botanicalillustration of a penny bun #boletus edulis #Fungi & a Rosy button one, and chatting to Fungitown visitors in Hay. My mate filmed me at work in a borrowed (appropriately themed) shirt. #sciart

The October Gate is open. #art

This is a painting - watercolor and gouache on toned paper. At the end of a ledge is a gateway made of stone and branches. Stepping through brings you to a winding path, nighttime, and woods. Pumpkins are present on either side of the gate.

Motivational Mucus! Behold the glorious Pigbutt Worm (Chaetopterus pugaporcinus)

#TidalFarce #SciArt #comic 🦑 more info about this critter -> tidalfarce.com/index.html?p...

Comic - Panel 1: close up of a worm face with two tentacles and a mouth shaped like a 'w', sort of cat-like, they are saying "Remember, when life gives you a dark cold void, cast your invisible mucus web to ensnare all the joy and nourishment floating in the world."

Panel 2: large panel with the round butt-shaped worm barfing out a sheet of sparkling mucus, sound effect in the mucus "BLARGHHH"
