I can’t wait to see this super delicious and cute pizza book in person! This is definitely one of my favorite board books that I’ve illustrated in 2025. I usually illustrate 20–23 children’s books a year, and this one is right at the top of my list.

Working with the amazing team at Little Tiger @littletigerbooks @tigertales_books made it even more special—my illustration style combined with Maddie’s incredible design skills and Kitty’s charming writing really brought this book to life. We’re already on track to create more exciting and adorable books together!

Massive thanks to Will (Advocate-Art @advocateart01 ), my agent, and everyone on the Little Tiger team. Thank you for making the process of working on this book feel like a dream.
I can’t wait to share more of our upcoming projects—let’s just say they’re going to be just as delicious and super cute! 🍕📚

Ever since studying illustration, I’ve wanted to work with Usborne—their books have always been so fun, pretty, and full of charm. I’m thrilled this dream has finally come true!

Together with the amazing Usborne team, we’re launching the Cozy Town Sticker Books series. The first two titles, Cozy Café and Cozy Bakery, feature 150+ stickers filled with cute, charming characters waiting to greet you in their cozy shops. 🏠☕🥐

These sticker books aren’t just for kids—they’re perfect for grown-ups who love journaling or adding a touch of cuteness to everyday life. Having developed my own products and traded at markets and fairs, I can already imagine how much people will enjoy them!

Stay tuned—more books are coming soon! 😄

Map No.54: Shanghai! 🗺️💖

I lived in Shanghai from 2006–2007, and those were such lovely memories ✨

Shanghai is an incredible city — lively, busy, modern, and beautifully mixed with its glamorous ancient past. And of course… all the yummy food! 🥟🍜

It was extra special (and so much fun!) to illustrate a place I once called home 🥰

地圖 No.54：上海！🗺️💖

我在上海住過，從2006到2007，那段回憶真的好美好✨

上海真的是一個超棒的城市——熱鬧、繁忙、現代感十足，又完美融合了古老而華麗的過去。而且…當然少不了那些超好吃的美食！🥟🍜

這次畫出我曾經住過的地方，感覺特別有趣又開心🥰

✨ 2026 First Shop Update + Exciting Rebrand! ✨

Surprise! My first shop update of 2026 is finally here 🎉

After a quiet holiday and being a bit under the weather, I’ve finished Map No. 54 – Shanghai 🏙️ and a super cute Dim Sum collection 🥟💛

Shanghai Map Collection

This map focuses on central Shanghai (it’s huge!) 🏙️

I create maps because I love drawing them—I’m an illustrator, not a cartographer 😆

Products in this collection:

• Postcards
• Sticker sheet
• 300-piece jigsaw puzzle
• Washi tape coming soon

I Love Dim Sum Collection

I love dim sum—the shapes, colours, and flavours 😋

Perfect after all the Christmas treats!

Products available:
• 2 sticker sheets
• Washi tape & die-cut sticky pad coming soon
Die-cut postcards? Maybe… DM me if you’d love one 😄

Exciting Rebrand – Moggy Mansions!

Big news – Liv Wan Illustration is now “Moggy Mansions”, our new family brand 💛

For over a decade, I’ve been running Liv Wan Illustration, trading at conventions and markets.
Chris makes most products, Amelia helps a lot, and I focus on design & illustration. I don’t just draw maps—I also create super cute stationery collections!

We’re still sorting out the website, so you can still order through Liv Wan Illustration for now.
Some items might show the new Moggy Mansions branding, and some still have the old logo—but everything will switch over soon.

What’s next?

Lots of new products, and our subscription box is coming soon 🎁

Stay tuned—you don’t want to miss it! ...
