I am an illustrator and storyteller based in Edinburgh. My pictures are bright and playful. I start by painting a watery base layer with lots of texture and then later add all the fine details with coloured pencil and crayons (that’s my favourite part). I also work digitally, drawing on my iPad and collaging in handmade textures. At the moment I’m drawing lots of shells and feeling heavily inspired by seaside landscapes.
In between working on picture books and private commissions, I enjoy printmaking and painting out and about around Scotland.
I’m originally from West Yorkshire but have made my home in sunny Leith, Scotland, close to where I studied BA (hons) Illustration at Edinburgh College of Art – The University of Edinburgh. I work from my studio at Abbeymount, Out of The Blue.

Julija Pustovrh is trained as a Landscape Architect (Edinburgh College of Art), but has been working in ceramics since 2016.
She developed a varied independent practice, spanning from wheel-thrown to hand-build pieces, and from sculptural works to jewellery.
Majority of her current work is in contemporary tableware, with distinctive mix of simple, elegant forms and meaningful, contextual materials.
Her studio is located at Studio #1 at Abbeymount Studios, Scotland.

I’m an Illustrator and Printmaker based in Edinburgh, I studied BA (hons) Textile and Fashion Design where I specialised in Print.
A lot of my work is inspired by the surrounding nature and the Scottish Highlands; I practice across a range of mediums and I’m looking forward to expanding and experimenting further within Abbeymount.
Take a look at some of my work over on my Etsy shop- EveTongDesigns and Instagram @eve.tong18.
