Time Out NY / Best Cheap Haircuts

My illustration in Issue 858 (May 3-9, 2012) of Time Out New York, accompanying an article about where to get great cheap haircuts in NY.

Shop / Catching A Dream Print

Lately the weather has been a bit miserable - perhaps that's why this drawing was more inspired by snuggly jumpers, love and coziness than by spring. But while it has been raining every single day, the leaves have secretly returned to the trees and it's so green and pretty whenever the sun comes out for a few minutes. Catching A Dream is now available as a print from my Etsy & Dawanda shops.

Pokémon Battle Royale / Nurse Joy

This is my illustration of Nurse Joy for The Pokémon Battle Royale exhibition at Light Grey Art Gallery in Minneapolis. 151 artists drew 151 Pokémon, and then some more artists (including me) drew some of the human characters. All illustrations are available to buy as prints at the gallery. The show runs from April 20th to May 11th.

Shop / On The Roof Print

ON THE ROOF :: A spring inspired drawing I finished over the Easter holidays. Wouldn't it be great to live in a house where you can hang out on the roof and draw, read or have a nap? (Of course the house would have to be quite small because I'm a little scared of heights.) This illustration is now available as a print in my shops: Linotte.Etsy.com & Linotte.Dawanda.com

Linotte.net / New Website

My new website is finally online! I hope you like it. The portfolio section now includes lots and lots of new work and will be updated on a monthly basis. It was fun to work on the website, but now I'm excited to be spend a lot more time drawing again. Happy April!

Oh Comely / Someone once told me

I drew this illustration for the latest issue of the lovely Oh Comely magazine, as part of the 'Someone once told me' illustration feature. It includes a lot of sensible advice, illustrated by Kate McDevitt, Ben Javens, Sarah Abbot and Sarah Julia Clark. 

Once when I was very small I drew on my face and got a horrible rash all over my body. For years after, my mum told me not to draw on my face with felt tip pens (even though I wasn't really tempted to repeat this experiment.)

Shop / Red Cap Cards

Yesterday I got an exciting package in the post, filled with the greeting cards I recently illustrated for  Red Cap Cards. There are six cards, three are brand new designs and the other three are made from illustrations that have been very popular as prints. My favourite is called 3D Hello - it has a girl with 3D glasses on the front and a cat on the back! All cards are now available from my Etsy & Dawanda shops.

Happy Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! It's so warm in London today that it is starting to feel like spring, which is my favourite time of year. I can't wait until the trees turn pink and the Magnolia trees start to blossom.

DPI Magazine / Feature

DPI is a lovely design magazine from Taiwan and there is a feature about my work in Issue 152 / December 2011. According to Google Translate (which I know isn't necessarily accurate, so correct me if it's wrong), the magazine is calling me 'The Girl With The Cat's Small Universe'. Not quite as cool as The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (Lisbeth Salander) or The Girl Who Was On Fire (Katniss Everdeen), but I found it quite amusing.

Time Out NY / Best At-Home Services

My illustration in Issue 841 (December 15-28, 2011) of Time Out New York, accompanying an article about at-home beauty services.
