✨ Meet Lianne Bell @liaartattack ✨
“I graduated from the University of Sunderland @sunderlanduni in 2005 in #Glass and #Ceramics and continue to produce illustrative work in slip-cast porcelain and earthenware.
“In the last few years my practice has broadened to include hand-drawn #illustrations in pen and #linocut prints.
“I enjoy creating #artwork that embraces the uncanny and strange with traditional ideas of what is beautiful, valuable and desirable.​​​​​​​“

I never expected my love of linocutting, it brings me such joy! Although I have a few new scars on my fingertips, I have found a new way of expressing my creativity. I am excited to show you all soon my new felt linocut pieces and what have been up to with them. Please keep your eyes peeled! 🖤 #linocutillustration #linocutmarkmaking #linocutsofinstagram #printoftheday
Totally made up to have my work exhibited @vanguardnewcastle as part of the Valkyrie Archives Vol 1, celebrating female artists with lots of local talent. They have extended the show and it will be open this upcoming Friday too for #internationalwomensday so pop down and support. I made this new piece ‘Eyes Closed’ featuring my octopus woman especially for this show. Hope you enjoy 🖤 #illustrationoctopus #valkyriearchive #dotworkdrawing #penandinkart @nowtspecialncl
I am still making illustrations I promise! 🖤 I had a sort of restful start to 2026 and I am working on a drawing for an upcoming exhibition. This little ratty clown was made for an exhibition organised by the brilliant @nowtspecialncl in late 2025 for @standcomedyclub and is still up on display. Thanks so much for organising a fab show over four different venues! #ratart #ratclown #clownart #ratillustration #penandink

Another little pen drawing created as part of my clown girl series, super happy with the bubbles, but not so sure about the bow? This portrait is of Nancy Carroll, born in 1905, she had a long career in silent films and the talkies. She was even nominated for an Academy Award for her role in ‘Devil’s Holiday’. #silentfilmart #nancycarroll #penportrait #clowngirlart #bubbleart #dotdrawing #penandinkdrawing #lowbrowart #surrealillustration
A recent drawing I made for the BALTIC Art Car Boot Fair, as part of my Clown Girl series. Been really enjoying drawing anthropomorphic creatures recently and exploring mark making to create lots of different textures. #penart #clownart #penandinkillustrations #catart #catclown #lowbrowart #surrealpendrawing #penillustration #drawingoftheday
