Tilly, also known as 'Running for Crayons (http://www.runningforcrayons.co.uk), produces colourful and wonderful illustrations. Tilly is from Brighton, educated at Brighton University, and engages in her artwork by the sea. Tilly has completed artwork for many companies in the publishing, food, charity, and corporate sectors. Her client list includes Fire & Stone, Jamie at Home, Vodafone, and Octopus Publishing Group. Characteristics of her work include witty and charming characters, which she refers to as her friends.
Tilly works in a studio that she calls BigChinaCrayon near the sea with two close friends, and all three support each other. These sound like amazing friends, and the studio looks like an inspiring place from the photographs in the interview by David Cole, sourced below (1). In Tilly's words, "When confronted with creative block, having the others to discuss your ideas with is invaluable (the relaxing coo of the pigeons also helps, though their criticism isn't quite so constructive)."

Here is a small selection of some of my favourite pieces from her collection, but many more wonderful pieces can be viewed on her website: http://www.runningforcrayons.co.uk
