The big thing I did this year and haven't been able to say much about up until now is that I was SOMEHOW asked to illustrate the new Folio Society edition of A Christmas Carol, introduced by Simon Callow. Bit of a dream job. www.foliosociety.com/uk/a-christm...

Marley was dead, to begin with...

The Folio Society edition of 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens, with illustrations by @sarahcoomer.bsky.social. A beautiful book.

A reminder I’m trying Christmas cards again this year. I spent most of yesterday drawing disappointed astronauts on the back of them. £5 each might sound pricey but it’s free postage if you’re in the UK. marswasrubbish.etsy.com/listing/4409...

Another pencil crayon study. This was quite tricky and it’s not really finished, but I’m really enjoying using real pencils.

Doing some sorting out of things upstairs… just found this postcard that Prunella Scales wrote to me when I was working for a theatre company in the early 2000s. I never met her but it was such a lovely gesture, and it made the day of the lowly admin monkey I was. RIP Prunella S.

I’m trying to do more traditional art. Here’s a little study of the Applecross house in pencil crayon. I was trying to see if I could recreate the light shining from the window. I think it’s worked quite well, though the cottage is a bit wonky and the chimney was weirdly disastrous.

A closer look at the cover and slip case for A Christmas Carol I illustrated for the Folio Society… The slipcase was based on the kind of late Georgian wallpaper I thought Scrooge might have never bothered to replace in his drawing room, where he encounters Marley’s ghost.

Gah I posted an earlier, unfinished version of the back endpaper there. I'll post the actual one in due course. It's not that different but that is quite annoying. Esp considering that all of my files are so very well ordered and meticulously labelled, ahem.
Those pesky double endpapers in full...

If you want time to pass REALLY QUICKLY go to a collage workshop…. Went to this Hallowe’en themed one today, run by Edinburgh Collage Club who are not here I don’t think but are on instagram. It was v good.

I have a small fleet of Graeme's UFOs, as seen here, badly photographed, and I love 'em.

Borley Rectory Christmas cards now available from my shop! Also I'll bung one in with any advent calendar bought this week. sarahcoomershop.etsy.com

Sheesh. I wondered if this might happen… interestingly Instagram didn’t get its knickers in a twist about a few little old charcoal sketches. Not yet anyway.
Is there a better way to spend Thursday evening than life drawing in an ex-anatomy lecture theatre next to a pub?
