I will absolutely judge a fantasy world by its knitwear.
MEET GAINS
Hello.
I'm Hayley.
✦ ───────── ✦
Hi, I’m Hayley – illustrator, designer, and general idiot behind all this.
It’s just me running the show, so if you send a message, you’re not talking to a customer service team… you’re talking to me.
I try to find that middle ground where humour meets heart – where something can make you laugh and still mean something.
I run this full-time now, which means you can expect new art, fresh ideas, and the occasional existential crisis. It’s a good gig – I get to make stuff that makes people smile and that feels like a decent use of my time.
If you have questions, thoughts, or would like to share something nice, please get in touch. I actually read every message.
Thanks for stopping by and supporting what I do – it genuinely means the world to me (even if I pretend to be too cool to say that).

Things worth knowing
✦Tea is less a beverage and more an operational requirement.
I have very strong feelings about character design.
I am easily distracted by obscure historical facts.
I’m usually drawing, reading, gaming, or thinking about doing one of those things.
Nigel is management.
SENIOR STAFF
Meet Nigel.
Head of Operations.
Quality Control.
Lunch Supervisor.
Nigel is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day running of Gainful Bhaji, which mostly involves sitting directly on whatever I am currently trying to work on.
His qualifications remain unclear.

LIVE FROM THE DESK
Occasionally,
I can be observed
in the wild.
I stream my co-working sessions, drawing days and various creative endeavours over on Twitch.
It’s less “high-energy internet personality” and more “come sit quietly while we both attempt to finish something.”
Tea encouraged.
COME AND LURK ↗
ANYWAY.
Welcome.
Gainful Bhaji is where I put the things I make, the things I’m learning, and occasionally the things I probably should have kept to myself.
I’m glad you found it.
