My mum was clearing out her loft at the weekend and she discovered a bag full of art she’d kept from when I was a kid.
I thought I’d share some of it with you.
Here is one of my earliest works, aged 3 ½ (not sure what inspired the squiggly thing to the right of the man’s face).
At 4 ½ I had progressed to this: (In case you were wondering, it’s a man driving a digger. Obviously.)
At 5 I drew this bird:
At 6 ½ I drew these ballerinas with amazing bendy legs:
I love children’s art. It’s so sweet and innocent and full of character.
I’m still drawn to the same sort of illustration today. Maybe that’s partly why I love children’s picture books so much?

True, could be a combine harvester…Who knows what I was thinking? I’ve also just noticed that it has interestingly sized wheels (might have been a bumpy ride)!
