About Tasha Goddard, lifestyle illustrator and hand-letterer

I draw a lot of everyday objects, food and am particularly adept at illustrating rooms, so often describe myself as a lifestyle illustrator, but I will rise to the challenge of drawing most things, and love nothing better than sitting down to draw a new topic or theme and finding my own particular way to stylise or depict something.

My style is loose and hand-drawn (though mostly it’s hand-drawn with an iPad or Wacom pen!). There‘s usually a lot of colour, but I’m also comfortable with black and white line drawings. I am particularly experienced in digitally hand-drawn vector (which have the huge benefit of scalability), but am also at home with textures (digitally hand-drawn or analogue).

Clients

I have worked with a variety of clients, including DK Books, Nextquisiste, Cardooo, Clare Mackintosh, Kim Designs, Pearson and Hachette.

I have been described as ‘the most organised illustrator‘ and my work has been described as ‘fun‘, ‘whimsical‘, ‘colourful‘ and ‘always makes me smile‘, as well as ‘really showing deep emotions‘.

Memberships

I am a member of The Association of Illustrators, Illustrators for Hire and Inky Goodness Collective.

A few fun facts about Tasha Goddard

I love to travel, read, cook vegetarian and vegan food, walk around European cities, write – and of course draw (and paint)! I live in a quirky, creative and quite outspoken town (Stroud) in The Cotswolds, with my husband, daughters and cats.

I grew up in a wonderfully creative and curious vegetarian and hippy household and was home educated for a few years. I have lived in Spain and France, but mostly the UK.

I love colour, pattern, maximalism, slightly organised chaos, but am also addicted to spreadsheets and lists.
