I have a bit of a lighthouse fixation. I love their coziness as well as their metaphorical power.

Here are some that I’ve drawn over the years.

Oh I haven’t been an illustrator for that long. My first Christmas card was in 2023, but it was very much an “early” work if you know what I mean 😅 So I’m not too keen on sharing it 😁

But here’s another one of my book-themed cards, just not Christmassy.

Me too. 70s and 80s Allen on repeat over and over again in my late teens and 20s. Diane Keaton, Mia Farrow, Dianne Wiest - these ladies and their roles are an integral part of me now.

Heartbroken about the loss of Diane Keaton. An irreplaceable one of a kind lady.

I always had this interpretation of The Godfather that we the audience watch Michael’s trajectory through her character’s eyes. Which is probably just based on how memorable her presence is throughout the movie from the wedding scenes at the beginning till this last one.

I have watched Annie Hall too many times in my 20s (at some point it was a daily ritual to get me through tough times) for this loss to not feel personal.

One of a kind irreplaceable magic of a presence.

RIP Diane Keaton. Fell in love with her way back when...

I live in Edinburgh and they are a right nuisance, but I still have a soft spot for them.

Thank you! I will be posting it once it’s finished. Although my kids’ school holidays just started so there’s no telling when exactly that might be 😅

Stunning day at Abbotsford, the house and estate of Sir Walter Scott in the Scottish Borders.
