The Illustrated Freelancer’s Guide is a practical resource for the increasing number of artists, makers, writers and other creatives working freelance in Scotland today.
It was created to fill an information gap for creative freelancers to understand their rights and best practices in avoiding and addressing difficult situations.
“The nature of freelancing – often remote, often isolated, with no HR department or workplace union to help you - can make you feel that when things go wrong, it’s simply tough luck. It’s difficult to advocate for yourself and discouraging to sift through pages of government information to try and find out what your rights really are. Even for those of us who’ve been freelancing for a long time, the barriers can feel huge.”

In Their Own Time
READ IT ONLINE
in collaboration with Cécile Ménard and Lena Wånggren
Challenging conventional funding structures to include intersectionally underrepresented casulised academics.
This project shares the stories of eight insecurely employed academics. I met with each of them to document their “own time,” and tell their stories through comics. Each chapter features a short comic alongside live drawings from our meetings.
An accessible website
This project exists in print and online. You can read it outside UK working hours (in your own time!). The website was developed by The University of Edinburgh’s Interactive Content team (Stewart Lamb Cromar, Jacqueline Aim, David Buik). Read about the process of making an accessible website here.

When I arrived here originally, I thought I would never leave...
In 1986, Kathleen Allan moved herself and the 100 animals of her animal sanctuary to the isolated island of Inchkeith. Dogs, cats, chickens, donkeys, goats, geese, sheep, a pig and a pony all called the island their home. Over the five years that Kathleen lived there, she was the subject of public and media attention, attending to visitors both welcome and unwelcome.
Through newspaper archives, interviews and explorations of the island, we pieced together the story of her time there. This is a collaboration with Sarah Lippett, the other half of Onion Press.
