Sketchbook Adventure / Petrie Museum

Last week I took my trusty sketchbook on a trip to the Petrie Museum! London of course has amazing, huge museums and I love them, but they're something so exciting to go to the little ones that perhaps not everybody has heard of. The Petrie Museum is part of UCL and is home to around 80,000 objects from ancient Egypt and Sudan.

It's basically a museum with cabinets over cabinets full of interesting objects, my dream place for drawing! There were so many beautiful, strange and funny things to see. I always like to look out for peculiar and interesting characters. Afterwards I went to the beautiful Gower Street Waterstones just around the corner which has three floors full of books and a great cafe on the ground floor. Can't wait to take my sketchbook on more adventures this summer! Where do you like to take your sketchbook?

EXHIBITION / Hello Kitty & 99 Friends

Hello Kitty & 99 Friends is a group exhibition at PIQ in Grand Central Station in New York. I love Sanrio and I love NYC so I was so excited when I was asked to draw Patty and Jimmy for this show! I thought it would also be fun to share some of the sketchbook drawings I made in the process. Recently I've been sharing a lot of sketchbook work on my Instagram + YouTube and it seems that many people love sketchbooks as much as I do, which makes me happy! If you want to catch the Hello Kitty & 99 friends exhibition, be quick! It's on until May 14th.

Shop / Puppy Love Greeting Card

I have just added this new Puppy Love greeting card to my Etsy Shop! 

Did you know that I have 42  greeting card designs in my shop for all different occasions? If there's any kind of greeting card you'd like to see, let me know! I'm always interested in new ideas. Have a great weekend!

Petite Louise / Postcard Collection

Another thing I've been meaning to tell you about for a while is this black and white postcard collection which is available exclusively at the lovely Petite Louise shop! I'm so happy to have my work in Richarda's lovely shop, alongside many of my favourite illustrators.

Shop /Fran & Anke Postcard Set

Hurrah! My super illustrator friend Fran and I schemed over tea and cookies and made a limited edition postcard set! It's Love/Friendship themed and there's six different postcards that you can put on your wall or send to all your special friends. It's available here in my Etsy shop.

Glamour Magazine / Max Lip Balm

Do you remember Max the cat, the character I illustrated for the Korean beauty brand Too Cool For School? He looked pretty satisfied to have his own page in the January 2016 issue of German Glamour magazine. And with a true cat friend on the cover!

226plus Magazine / Perspektiven Schenken

Another festive thing I drew last year - this was for the German 226plus Magazine.

Good Magazine / Cover Illustration

I love drawing Christmassy things so I was excited to be asked to do the December cover of Good Magazine again! The year has started very busy and now that I'm getting around to catching up with this blog. Christmas seems ages ago. Especially with this warm winter we're having - some magnolias have started to blossom and there are daffodils everywhere. But one can always dream of tea and cookies with penguins.

Pattern Project / December 2015

Happy New Year! This is my final pattern round-up of the December patterns. Mushroom Girls, Little Santas, Christmas Trees and Little Piglets. As usual they're available here, in my Society6 shop. There won't be weekly patterns in 2016 but I'm planning to keep this blog updated more regularly with new work. Stay tuned!

Merry Christmas 2015
