Sneak peek

Thought i'd post a sneak peek as I haven't for a while. This little dude was a doodle that evolved into a hipster mouse with knitted cardigan and over sized glasses. I have been enjoying designing some new characters recently and will reveal some more in future posts. 

If you like my work more designs can be viewed on my website

Mikodesign

I've long been a fan of the lovely brand mikodesign, they are based in the Netherlands and produce hand screen printed products including cute toys, cushions, accessories and decorations. I love the unique, elegant and handmade qualities of mikodesign products. My particular favourite is the circus rabbit with smart bow tie and ringmaster jacket.

Characterful creatures

Lovely characterful creatures and illustrations found on Pinterest. My favourite being the little clay bear wearing an autumnal jumper. I'm currently designing some new characters, hope mine turn out as adorable as this bunch below.

website update

I've recently been working on updating my Little Solsken website, with a slight re-design and updated portfolio. A few more designs still to be added, but take a look and let me know what you think :)

Nina and other little things

When i first came across nina and other little things I instantly fell for the sweet simple style. Based in Italy, 'biscuit sized' nina seems to have many adventures. She was originally created from pieces of cloth and looks like a little red riding hood. She can be found on many adorable pieces of stationery and other paper goods.
Below are a few examples.

Izziyana Suhaimi

I recently discovered artist Izziyana Suhaimi, She beautifully combines traditional hand embroidery and knit with hand drawn fashion illustrations creating a lovely mishmash of old and new. She has exhibited in Singapore, the Philippines, Taiwan and Japan.

Quirky toy finds

Adorable and quirky soft toy finds from pinterest and etsy. In this commercial world it's always nice to find something a little more unique, and I just adore all these original creatures.
