Having grown up in Derbyshire it only seemed right that I finally added a snowy Peak District scene to my Christmas Card range this year! ❄️

I know it’s very early for some of you to be thinking about Christmas, but I know others of you (like me) are already half sorted for the big day so this post is for you!

The new Snowy Derbyshire card joins the other gold-foiled snowy Christmas Card designs, and they’re now available as a fun multipack too! 🎄

Sharing this month’s Behind The Scenes Blog Post over on my Patreon today!

It’s full of all the little things that have filled the past month of my studio life - the good, the bad and the ugly. This time I’m chatting about crying at product launches, studio sort-outs, bespoke cards and the joy of making my first ever mug - plus lots more!

It should be a fun & interesting read for anyone interested in the behind the scenes life of an artist / product business owner ☺️

Available to all tiers of my Patreon, so simply pick the one that suits you best to give it a read!

I think I’m mostly over my resistance to the end of Summer now so I can freely declare… Yay! October! 🍂

I’ve got some lovely friend and family time planned in for the month ahead, along with my first ever Swan Lake viewing at buxtonoperahouse, a couple of nights in Norfolk (with dinner booked at sociusnorfolk for my birthday 😍), and an elijahfox gig. Plus a couple of book clubs for luck!

It’s set to be busy but fun, which is just how I like my Octobers. Hope you’ve got lots of festive fun planned too??

(P.S. Pre-order is still open for my 2025 British Countryside Calendars! This is next year’s October spread 🧡)

🎉 Pre-orders for my 2025 British Countryside Calendar are now OPEN! 🎉

https://www.joyjenstudio.com/shop/p/2025-british-countryside-calendar

This year’s calendar features 12 illustrations of stunning landscapes from around Britain - celebrating our natural spaces, from the hills and fields to the beaches and forests.

Pre-order is now OPEN! And will close on Tuesday 15th October. Head to my website to pre-order (or my Etsy if you’re based outside of the UK!). Links in bio.

It’s so helpful for me when you pre-order as it helps me to make sure I’m ordering enough for everyone and no one gets disappointed, so do pre-order if you know you want one (or two or three!) ❤️

Thank you! Hope you love them!

Happy Autumn! Time to enjoy those excellent colours, cosy knits and warming drinks ✨

I’ve not wanted to let summer go this year, I’d live in it forever if I could, but autumn is always a pretty good consolation prize 🍂

And I’ve got a couple of Autumn Card Sets in the shop for us to enjoy this year too, along with lots of other Autumnal items in the new Autumn Collection on my website ☺️

One of my favourites of the new prints that hit the shop last week ✨ A memory from a very blustery walk on the Dumfries and Galloway coastline, pretty much a year ago to the day.

This week in the Inspiration Tier of my Patreon I’m sharing a timelapse video of how I created this Glastonbury Tor sketchbook piece 💕

I’ve added a voiceover to the video to explain which materials & techniques I’m using at each part of the layering process. And the image I worked from is one of this week’s reference images if you fancy giving this scene a go for yourself!

Now that there’s more landscape-inspired designs in my shop than ever, I’ve added a new function to my website navigation so that you can browse by location!

Got a special love for Yorkshire or Derbyshire? A Northumberland fanatic or a Scot at heart? Hopefully this’ll make your browsing for a specific location even easier ☺️

And if you have a request for a location I’ve not drawn already do let me know and I can add it to my ever-growing list of landscape inspirations and maybe it’ll appear in the future!

As part of the new collection that released this week, there are now lots of different Art Card Sets in the shop too.

I’m running a Silent Auction for this big original abstract piece over the next 24 hours. All the details are in my Instagram stories if you’d like to bid!

I honestly am so happy for this to go for whatever someone can afford, as it’ll only be going to the charity shop otherwise as I can’t store it anymore, so please do just bid whatever you’re happy to pay for it, even if it’s just a few quid!

I won’t be offended by how little or how much, I’d just love it to go somewhere it’s wanted ❤️
