You've come to the right place. I'll message you direct.
just seen your message to me in Jan, so sorry I didn't respond I didn't realise it was there! In the process of relocating at the moment. Speak soon,

Just thought I would say hello - I saw you live in Saltburn, which is where I was born back in 1969 :-) We lived in Marske, my Dad grew up there and my Great Aunt still lives there. My late Gran used to live in Thornaby, which is where my Mum grew up. We moved to Harrogate, then as an adult I moved to London, and I'm now in Cornwall with my husband and daughters - it's nice to be near the Ocean again :-)
Anyway - excuse the log post - just wanted to say - if you want to get going as an illustrator as soon as possible, get yourself a website and do a bit of web advertising - the Association of Illustrators portfolio is amazing value for money and bring in excellent commissions. Send some samples to the Oxford or Cambridge University Presses as they are always looking for new illustrators and it's a great way to cut your teeth so to speak :-)
Good luck and good to virtually meet you :-)

Not got a website yet I'm afraid. Have put some on on My Space and also Facebook if you fancy a look. Are you a writer or illustrator?
Cheers
