hellojenuine - illustration by jen collins

jen collins is an illustrator living in scotland. by day she works at an arts centre, & on evenings & weekends she can be found drawing at her desk, as well as spending time with friends & eating yummy food with her boyfriend. things that make her happy include sunny mornings, the prospect of small adventures, meeting & collaborating with other creative people and finding excellent things in second hand shops. she wishes there were more hours in a day, or more days in a week, so that she could sit with a cup of tea & a sketchbook more often.

if you feature her work anywhere, please let her know. she's open to collaborations, queries, trades, projects & fun ideas. just get in touch (mail at hellojenuine dot com).
