Vicki Gausden

Hello everyone! I'm an illustrator who'd love to just draw cute animals all day every day. I'd like to do some more non-fiction animal-based projects and enjoy a challenging novelty board book. Books with HarperCollins, Farshore and Little Tiger Press. ---> vickigausden.co.uk <---

It’s Invisible Disabilities Week so I thought I’d share mine. I have a Vestibular Schwannoma sitting in my left ear. My symptoms vary wildly. Some days I am mostly fine. Some days I walk about feeling like I’m at sea in a storm. We never know what someone else is going through. #invisibleillness

Name your fav 90s film. "I'm drawing a complete... Blank"

Artists, quote with your blue art 💙 #kidlitart #humpbackwhale #ocean

It’s National Dog Day, so here’s my delightful little weirdo… #nationaldogday #bestdog

Took this photo of a moth on a lamp yesterday and it looks like a pencil drawing.

Just some little friendly guys sharing a nice cool bath. #kidlitart #illustrationart #capybara

Hey #PortfolioDay, thought I'd do something a little different and show my Pocket Mountains artwork instead of the kidlit. The lovely team at PM produce a popular line of walking guides covering most of the UK (still in progress) and I illustrate a lot their covers! #walkingguides #ukwalks

Trying something new - Watercolor & ink cat portraits, here at TCAF! Table 322, 4th floor #tcaf2026

Yourself, but as a cartoon.
