Fledgling Press Book Cover Design
by Liv Wan | Mar 10, 2014 | Book Cover Design, Design
I was recently asked to create a book cover an upcoming book called “Boy Soldier and Beyond”. I depicted boys joining the army but leaving as men as my main inspiration for this story. I focused completely on this transition as the author was a young man...
Edinburgh Beehive Inn Illustrated Review
This is one of my personal projects from 2013. The idea was to illustrate one of my favourite local pubs and make three double spreads to introduce the history, atmosphere, food and drink of this pub. I choose the Beehive Inn for several reasons with the first being...
Illustrated Travel Guide of Taipei
by Liv Wan | Feb 24, 2014 | Design, Editorial, Fun Illustrations, Picture Book
For this project I was tasked with creating an illustrated travel guide for any location that I fancied. This was a really fun project as I could literally choose any city I’ve been to. I thought about doing an illustrated guide of Edinburgh, where I live now,...
Making Cocoa Book Cover and Endpaper Design
by Liv Wan | Jan 21, 2014 | Book Cover Design, Design
This is my latest book cover design for a poem collection called “Making Cocoa for Kingsley Amis”. I always enjoy designing book covers as you always have a perfect excuse for reading a book and you don’t feel guilty about it. As you can imagine with...Illustrator by day, home cook by night. For years I was a professional chef but now I draw and cook for myself

🚨 New book collection alert! 🚨
I just received the sample copies of one of my favourite book collections — the All Aboard jigsaw puzzle train series! 🚂✨
The four trains are:
🌿 Jungle Train
🚜 Farm Train
📖 Story Train
🎄 Christmas Train
I’m so excited to finally see the English editions of these super cute books! 💕
Huge thanks to the lovely @Townhouse_books for trusting me with this collection, and to my wonderful agent Will at @Advocate01 for managing the whole creative journey from start to finish.
You can now purchase Jungle Train on Amazon:
https://amzn.eu/d/04mxLm22
And because I know so many of you love buying books directly from me at fairs and conventions, I’m going to try my very best to see if I can get extra copies from the publisher in the future! 🤞✨
Honestly, seeing all four books together makes me ridiculously happy. They look even cuter in real life! 🥹🚂💕

First morning in my new studio space. 🏠✨
After years of working from a corner of my kitchen, I finally have a little space to call my own.
It’s still a work in progress, but I’m so happy to have a place for drawing, dreaming and creating new books.
My little green room. 💚

Wow! What a weekend! 💕
(A slightly longer post today, so thank you for reading!)
Unfortunately, I had to cancel Saturday’s market due to the awful weather. As a paper goods seller, I simply couldn’t risk my products being damaged. It was a difficult decision, especially after hearing from so many lovely repeat customers who were planning to come and visit me. Your support means so much. ❤️
Thankfully, Sunday brought much better weather! It was still quite windy (I think a few stickers may have flown away! 😆), but it was wonderful to see so many familiar faces and meet some new ones too.
Mirage (@kiteVisionary) made sure I didn’t go hungry, as usual, and it was lovely catching up after his recent adventures.
Mel (@Jjilpapercrafts) brought along some craft papers I’d been curious about, which have already inspired ideas for future products. Thank you for being so thoughtful!
Karen (@Khollandster) and her daughter stopped by, and it’s always such a joy to see them. We first met at Hyper Japan two years ago and have kept crossing paths at events ever since.
Pree and Tanu (@pretaeats) were another wonderful surprise! We first met at the Illustrators’ Fair two years ago, and I was so happy they found me at the market again yesterday. Time really does fly!
A publisher once asked me:
“What’s it like trading at markets?”
Honestly, it’s this.
The conversations, the familiar faces, and the friendships that grow over the years. My customers make me feel seen, appreciated, and supported, and I love watching their own journeys unfold too.
This is why I keep coming back to markets and events. They’re where I find my people—the people who cheer me on, support my little business, and make this creative journey so special.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being part of it. ❤️

I had an incredible time trading with Open Art Market in Soho last Saturday! I met so many lovely new customers, as well as some familiar faces from MCM Comic Con. 😄
It was such a pleasure chatting with all of you, and I hope our paths cross again soon.
The local shop owners and fellow vendors were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They truly made me feel like part of the community.
The Deputy Mayor was lovely as well! She bought a few postcards from me, and I absolutely loved her style. Her hair clips were so cute 🥺✨
I had a wonderful day and would love to come back again in the future!
Sorry I didn’t take many photos — I was too busy serving customers! 😆

Wow, I just completed my first MCM Comic Con London! It was such an amazing experience. ✨
I absolutely loved the vibes and all the people I met there. It was so lovely seeing both new faces and familiar faces again. :D
Thank you so much to everyone who stopped by and supported our little business — it truly means a lot to us. 💖
Also sorry for posting this so late! After 3 days of trading, I was completely exhausted and honestly couldn’t even talk or eat properly yesterday 😭 I finally have enough energy today to do things again.😄
I promise I’ll start fitness training before the next MCM in October so hopefully I’ll feel a little less broken next time hahaha.
I also secretly wish there was a wheelchair service at the Excel Centre so one of the lovely security guards could wheel me to the entrance every morning . 😆
