Welcome to my Portfolio.

About
My name is Ripley Gosling
I'm an illustrator from Bristol, based in Glastonbury with a love for storytelling through visual narratives. I take inspiration for my work from local flora and fauna, and on countryside walks, I often imagine the footsteps and stories of those who came before, woven through myths, folktales, and lore. My work spans artist’s books, zines, comics, children’s books, character and pattern design, often exploring themes of nature, history, culture, and fantasy. I specialise in interactive formats, particularly pop-up and movable books, using surprise and playfulness to bring stories to life. My primary medium is painting with a focus on watercolour. I studied BA Illustration at UWE Bristol and graduated with First Class Honours. You can see more of what i've been up to on my blog.
