Description
Bass rock and puffin card: this greetings card is of my Bass Rock and puffin illustration.
The Bass Rock, a mile off the coast at Tantallon Castle, is home to more than 150,000 gannets and is the largest single rock gannetry in the world. The scientific name for the Northern Gannet, Sula Bassana, honours the Bass, for which the gannets show their appreciation by painting the top white. The lower ledges of the rock are used by guillemots, razorbills, cormorants, puffins and gulls, not to mention seals.
Currently uninhabited, the rock’s history includes being settled by an early Christian hermit, hosting a fortress which became a prison for covenanters, and the construction of a lighthouse in 1902.
You can just get the puffin card, or save money by choosing a few cards – see the full selection.

My cards are printed responsibly and are completely recyclable. By default, I post them without cellophane, but if you need them in a display bag, please just let me know.
Local collection: You can save on postage by choosing collection at the check-out stage. If you’d like to do that, I’ll get in touch to arrange it with you.
About my art: I draw digitally in Adobe Illustrator using a Wacom drawing tablet, often incorporating painted and captured textures into my images later. My commissioned illustration features in many local brands. It can be found on theatre posters and albums across the country, and has also included shortbread tins, books, games, animations and recently – the pinnacle of success – a bin in North Berwick.
