🌟 2024 Art vs Artist 🌟
Wow... just a few hours left in 2024! I’m excited to share my “Art vs Artist” post for this year—a look back at the journey, growth, and challenges I’ve experienced.
2024 has been a whirlwind for me! It’s been my busiest year yet, as I’ve illustrated 23 books and worked on several exciting collaborations. While most of these books are still in the printing or publishing process (so I can’t share them yet!), I’m incredibly proud of what I’ve accomplished.
As you can imagine, creating 23 books has been a marathon, and I’m feeling pretty drained both physically and mentally. But it’s been an incredible learning experience, and I’m more motivated than ever to bring you even more fun, cute, and colourful illustrations, books, and products in 2025!
💡 My goals for 2025:
1️⃣ Prioritize rest and recharge.
2️⃣ Find a better balance between work and personal life.
3️⃣ Carve out time for personal projects.
4️⃣ Take a much-needed holiday.
5️⃣ Progress further toward my financial goals.
6️⃣ Commit to exercising more regularly.
I’m especially excited to explore some personal projects I’ve been dreaming about, including:
✨ Self-published coloring books
✨ More illustrated maps
✨ Seasonal product collections
✨ Expanding my product range
✨ Designing new greeting cards
I know achieving all these goals might be ambitious, but even reaching half of them would make 2025 a fulfilling and rewarding year.
To everyone who’s supported me this year—thank you from the bottom of my heart. It’s been a tough year for many, but I truly hope 2025 brings us all hope, light, and joy.
Here’s to an incredible year ahead! 🥂✨

Our last market of 2024 is officially done!
As always, I’ve caught my December cold (again!) 😆🤧, but that hasn’t stopped me from reflecting on this year.
It’s been a challenging year for retail businesses, and while our revenue is slightly down compared to last year, I’m incredibly grateful to still be going strong and making good progress.
Thank you all for your continued support—it truly means the world to us! Here’s to an even brighter 2025!

Thrilled to share the adorable jigsaw puzzle books I collaborated on with the fantastic Dublin-based publisher, @townhouse_books Townhouse Publishing! 🎉

To Our EU Customers 💌
If you’re based in the EU, please take a moment to read the announcement in the slides. It’s an important update about upcoming changes due to new regulations.
I’m truly hopeful we’ll find a solution to these challenges soon. Running a small business has become increasingly difficult with so many new hurdles, but I’m committed to navigating this as best as I can.
For our UK and non-EU customers, there’s no need to worry—these changes won’t affect you, and we’ll continue trading as usual.
Thank you all for your incredible support during these tough times. 💕
Warmly,
Liv

✨ Exciting News! ✨
I’m thrilled to announce that all four colouring books I illustrated for Castle Point Books, part of Macmillan US, are now available for order or pre-order on Amazon!
These adorable and unique colouring books have been hugely popular at conventions and markets. I love supporting my publishing clients by showcasing these books at the events where I trade, and it’s been rewarding to see how well they’re received. This strong demand has led to some amazing new opportunities for my work, and I’m so grateful for it!
🎉 Tiny Kawaii even ranked #76 in the Manga for Children category on UK Amazon—so proud to see it hit the top 100!
Although my schedule is fully booked through February 2025, which means I can’t continue the series for now, I truly hope to collaborate again on new projects in the future. Fingers crossed we’ll have the chance to bring more cute, fun designs your way next year!
🌸 You can find these books on Amazon now. Thank you so much for your ongoing support and enthusiasm!
