Hello Everyone!
Following the success of my Anti-Stress Dot-to-Dot book for adults, I was asked by my publisher Macmillan to create another one! The book is called A Sea Voyage – An Anti-Stress Dot-to-Dot Adventure and it is in shops from TODAY!
There are 43 dot-to-dots in the book, each one consisting of 400 dots. I created all of them by hand and then my husband digitalised my designs on the computer. I hope you enjoy bringing the pictures to life and colouring them in your own unique way – don’t forget to share your creations, I would love to see them!

Here is the front cover, the blurb from the back of the book and few of my dot-to-dot examples:
“Discover the treasures of the deep hidden within these pages… Sail away from the stresses of everyday life with A Sea Voyage, an aquatic dot-to-dot and colouring adventure. From a majestic blue whale to a secret message in a bottle, a pirate ship and a magical mermaid, Emily Wallis’s intricate puzzles will charm and delight as they reveal beautiful illustrations for you to personalize with pattern and colour. Whether you’re whiling away an evening at home, passing time in a waiting room or on the move during your busy day, A Sea Voyage is the perfect creative antidote to leave you feeling relaxed and inspired.”

Hello Everyone!
A long time ago I was contacted by Peter Wright (world traveller, teacher and artist) who wanted to re-create my artwork as wall art – and about a year later, I’ve finally got around to writing this blog post about it! Here are a few words from Peter himself:
“I wanted to create a mural for my bedroom, I was browsing the internet looking for inspiration. I came across Emily’s work and loved many of her beautiful drawings and paintings. I contacted Emily asking if i could make a copy of one of her pieces. She generously agreed saying she would like to see her drawing become a large mural. Using a projector and Posca Pens I got to work. It took 10 days to recreate Emily’s piece ‘Cycle Superhighway’ much to the help of my good friend Alex Clibbon. We are pleased with how it came out, hope you enjoy it too.”
After this piece was finished, Peter and Alex contacted me again and re-created a couple more of my illustrations! Here are some photos. Please check out Peter’s website to see more of his artwork – www.whereispete.co.uk

Hello Everyone,
Something a little bit different this week – an acrylic painting on canvas! I haven’t used acrylic paints for a long time (let alone worked on anything bigger than A4 paper!), so I set myself the task of completing this painting in one day, whilst I was waiting to hear back from a client.
Title: Beach Painting
Size: Approx. A1
Materials: Acrylic on Canvas
Title: Ozzie the Cat
Size: A5
Materials: Pencil
Description: In December I was commissioned to do this drawing of Ozzie the cat, to be given as a Christmas present. Please feel free to contact me if you would like a drawing of your own pet!
