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

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

www.emilyjaneart.co.uk
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.

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

Now that I've made gifs work, I may bombard you with ones I've made... sorry.
This is a tree dragon from my second Strangehollow book, Secrets Of Strangehollow. Love this little guy. #dragon #gif #animated #animation #watercolour #painting #artbook

It's #SpookySeason, so the pumpkin latte demon has awoken 🎃☕

#coffee #art #pencil #illustration
A pencil illustration of a cup and saucer. The cup has coffee in with the beginnings of a latte art pattern on the right. On the left, the latte art morphs into a blobby demonic form which is overspilling the cup. Basic black eyes and a gaping mouth are visible in the gloopy milk. A clawed arm has formed and is propping it up. Another hand can be seen emerging from inside the cup to grip the side of it. This is a watermarked scan with the artists mushroom shaped Emily Jane Art logo. Www.emilyjaneart.co.uk. Signed EJF which is the initials of Emily Jane Foster.

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.

It takes a bit of practice to line it up over your printed sticker sheets and smooth it down without bubbles, but I'm enjoying the finished effects. I just thought I'd let you know in case it was also helpful for your DIY sticker experiments!

Hi John! I've recently been experimenting with using 'transparent laminate overlay vinyl' in my sticker making process as an alternative to the inkjet fixative spray. It provides that added durability, but you can also get overlays with different effects (e.g. holographic)!

My husband rescued this beautiful ant lion adult from the pool (we’re on holiday in Lardos, Rhodes) - web resources aren’t great, so species ID help much appreciated. Have given it a tree to camouflage against, so hoping it makes it until tonight when it can fly again 🤩
