Woohoo!! 🥳 Hyper Japan is almost here!

I’ve been working my little socks off to bring you lots of brand-new collections! ✨

Come and say hi at Stand S91 (upper level, by the stairs)! 💛

Please don’t leave me hanging… 🥺❤️ I’d love to see you all!

OI! Lovely people!! ❤️ NEW COLLECTION ALERT! 🐟✨

If you’ve been hanging around my little corner of the internet for a while, you’ll know I have a slightly unhealthy obsession with illustrating food… and ridiculously beautiful food packaging. 😆

So it was only a matter of time before I gave my favourite tinned fish and seafood the kawaii treatment!

Introducing ✨ Perfect Catch ✨ — a collection bursting with scrumptious sardines, cheeky seafood, colourful tins, and enough fishy goodness to make your kitchen cupboards look suspiciously adorable.

Now for the important question…

Which tin is your poison? 👀🐟

Team Sardines? Team Anchovies? Team “I’ll happily eat the whole shelf”? 😂 I genuinely want to know which one’s your favourite!

As always, thank you for supporting this slightly bonkers illustrator who somehow gets away with drawing food for a living. You lot are the absolute best. ❤️

Now excuse me while I go and design even more things that make people hungry… 😆 ...

🇫🇷✨ Japan Expo Paris — Level 1 boss completed! 🎮❤️

What an incredible few days! I’m finally home from Paris, feeling completely exhausted but also so happy and grateful. 🥹❤️

A huge, heartfelt thank you to everyone who came to visit my booth — especially those of you who told me you’ve been following my work for years, brought my postcards for me to sign, shared your lovely stories with me, or simply stopped by to say hello. Meeting you in person truly meant so much to me. ❤️

Thank you to every wonderful customer who supported my little illustration world, and to all the amazing artists and lovely people I met along the way. Events like this can be physically exhausting, but these little moments of connection, kindness and laughter are what make everything worthwhile.

Paris, you were amazing. 🇫🇷❤️ I really hope I can come back to France for more events in the future — I’ll certainly try my very best!

But there’s not much time to rest… 😆

🎮 Level 1 boss: Japan Expo Paris — DONE!
⚔️ Level 2: Hyper Japan London — HERE I COME! 🇬🇧🔥

Thank you, Paris. Until next time! ❤️✨ ...

Off to Paris! 🇫🇷✨

I’m so excited to be trading at Japan Expo Paris starting tomorrow! If you’re visiting the show, I’d absolutely love to say hello.

You can find me at Hall 6, Stand N780, where I’ll have lots of my colourful illustrations, maps, stationery, postcards, stickers, and other goodies.

If you’re coming to Japan Expo, please do stop by and say hi—I always love meeting fellow illustration and stationery lovers in person. See you soon! 💛

🗺️ New Map Alert!

My Seoul Map Illustration is officially Map No. 56 in my illustrated map series.

As many of you know, I’ll be travelling to Seoul next month for the Seoul Illustration Fair, and I couldn’t be more excited. July is looking incredibly busy (and honestly a little scary!), but I know it’s going to be an amazing experience.

This Seoul map illustration features some of the city’s most iconic landmarks, neighbourhoods, and hidden gems. Creating illustrated city maps has become one of my favourite ways to celebrate the places and cultures that inspire me.

Every map I create is a love letter to a place and to the people who call it home. Through each illustrated map, I try to capture the unique character, memories, and stories that make a city special.

I can’t wait to visit Seoul and share more of my Seoul Illustration Fair adventure with you soon. 🇰🇷✨

🚨 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! 🥹🚂💕

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! 😆
