The Good Ship Illustration

by

We’re here to offer no-nonsense advice for illustrators and image-makers navigating a creative career.

At The Good Ship Illustration, we are all about finding your creative voice, standing out from the crowd, building career-longevity, and being yourself.

We are Helen Stephens, Katie Chappell and Tania Willis – 3 full-time bread winning (mmm, bread) illustrators working in 3 separate niches of the illustration industry. Between us we’ve clocked up over 60 years of experience and illustration wisdom, and we’re here to share it!

You’d love your creative work if only you could find more time to do it, make more money, and feel confident with what you make. We believe you DO have what it takes, illustration needn’t be scary, and we’re with you all the way, along with the rest of the crew in our online community.
