DPI Magazine / Feature

noreply@blogger.com (Anke) — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 18:17:00 +0000

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.

Personal Work / Hand Lettering

noreply@blogger.com (Anke) — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 14:42:00 +0000

This is some hand-lettering I did a while ago. I love playing with typography and lettering, so this was a fun little personal project. It's based on scribbles and notes from my sketchbooks, so it isn't really meant to make a lot of sense - especially since it contains a lot of made-up words...

Personal Work / Little Grump

noreply@blogger.com (Anke) — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 14:05:00 +0000

Every now and then I get a little grumpy. (Then I just have a cup of tea, do some drawing and look at pictures of Angora rabbits. That never fails to cheer me up).

Sketchbook / Cozy Girls

noreply@blogger.com (Anke) — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 18:31:00 +0000

Shop / JUNIPER GIRLS

noreply@blogger.com (Anke) — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 22:24:00 +0000

JUNIPER GIRLS is a personal project I have been working on for the past year.

Whenever possible, in between commissions and other projects I made some time to work on these ink drawings. I started drawing without a plan and girls appeared on paper and started telling me their stories.
Drawing in that way is one of my favourite things to do. It's a little like meditation but a lot more entertaining. I took my time with this project to have a whole pile of drawings to pick from for the final booklet. And it's called Juniper Girls, because while working on it I kept thinking about Juniper. These are some pictures of the final booklet and some progress photos. Anyway, I hope you like it. It's available here and here.

Danville Children's Medical Center

noreply@blogger.com (Anke) — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 19:30:00 +0000

Last year I worked on a wonderful project for Danville Children's Medical Center, creating a lot of illustrations for their leaflets, website and interiors. Sadly, the hospital only opened briefly and then closed down. But I want to share a few of my illustrations from the project anyway. The leaflet was designed by the lovely Cathy Solarana, who was great fun to work with.

noreply@blogger.com (Anke) — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 14:07:00 +0000

This is a new product I illustrated for the lovely Monoblock - a mini notebook with an American Pika on the front. When I researched which endangered animal I could illustrate for this project, I came across the American Pika. He seems like such a happy animal, collecting flowers in the mountains. There's a lovely video of the Pika here. A few of these mini notebooks are now available from my Etsy & Dawanda shops.
