- Hey guys!
This week, instead of a Studio Vlog, I thought I'd talk a bit about my journey as an illustrator, small business owner and content creator. I've had a few requests for a video like this over the years and I thought now was the perfect time to do so!
I'm very much just starting out, but this is how I got to where I am right now. Hopefully, I'll be able to continue what I'm doing and get more cool opportunities in the future!

Hey I'm Polly! I'm also known as Pollygone Illustration
I am a freelance illustrator, animator and content creator based in the UK. I have a degree and masters in ‘Illustration and Animation’, having graduated recently in 2018 and 2019.
Over the last few years I’ve been sharing my art process and development to you guys in my weekly studio vlogs!

I love your work so much, you’re an inspiration and it is so great to hear your story. I am hoping to open my art shop next year when I get the money and I can’t wait. You have motivated me to keep going ❤
Thank you so much! Good luck 🥰
It was so interesting to hear about your journey! 🧡 Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it! 🥰
Interesting to hear your artist journey and I love your designs, they’re so cute!! ✨🦆🌷
Thank you so much! 🥰
Hullo Polly, I have been so impressed by you and your art styles and I have enjoyed watching your videos and seeing you progress in this very competitive field of Art! I have not been watching very many shorts yet I do try to catch them occasionally. I started creating art when I was only 10 and my first teacher was my Grandmother! I am semi-retired after a stroke in 2016. I did enjoy a career of over 35+ years and I worked in so many different fields from inking comic pages to taking little league (Baseball) team photos. I did a lot of freelance work, but I did work at a couple of design firms and I learned how to use the computer and keep working around 1998 when I was refused a job because I had no computer skills! I am now back to paper/canvas and paint! Yep, my Gran taught me watercolor painting and I am still learning this wonderfully complex and at times quite aggregating medium! I encourage you to keep creating and sharing your art journey with your followers. I know recording is not easy and I hope you can continue. I do post on Instagram occasionally but nowhere near the numbers to generate a following!
Thank you for sharing all of your amazing art and vlogs chatting with us. You are truly inspirational and so amazing! Please take care, be safe and remember to find the joy in creating your art. No matter what the medium you are always an Artist!
Thank you so much! 😊 I really appreciate all your lovely comments over the years. You sound like you’ve had a great career and it’s great that you’re still finding a way to stay creative 😊
