🗺️ 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! 🥹🚂💕

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! 😆

Meet Whiskers & Crumbs — my newest collection inspired by all things cute, cosy, and delicious! Here are two sticker sheets from this fun little series.
I hope these sweet stickers bring a little extra joy and sweetness to your day. 💕
Now I’m off to Central London for a publisher meeting. Wish me luck! (Especially with not getting hopelessly lost in London 🥺😅)

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 . 😆
