Spring has been a bit slow (and cold) this year, but the sun has been out the last couple of days and it just made me super happy to be outside. So here is to many more happy days spent outside soaking up the sun 🌞 Our little pet bees who are living in front of our living room window have been busy too the last couple of days. They‘ve been a bit late this year, because of the weather… just love hearing them buzzing around while I work :) . . . #goodtype #typematters #illustratedtype #swashlettering #ligaturecollective #floralillustration #happyillustration #womenofillustration #ladieswhodesign #femaleillustrators #creativewomen #springhassprung #soakupthesun #weloveillustration #springvibes #womenoftype #dopetypesociety #letteringlove #handlettered #truegrittexturesupply #itsnicethat #creativeboom

A big thank you to our friends and collaborators @timbaronart @valheria123 @thisiswex @jango_jim @friedaruh for putting so much of yourselves into this collection. Share your story. Shop the collection. And join us in supporting @active_minds and their mission to change the way we talk about mental health.

End of last year I had the chance to work on a fantastic project with @boomimpact.co They asked a bunch of designers to create illustrations for their mental health collection. Everyone of us created their design for a specific mental illness and I got to work on the design for ADHD. I have close friends who live with ADHD and tbh researching about this helped me to understand their way of thinking a lot better. The goal of the collection is to support @active_minds , who are a non-profit organisation working to change the conversation around mental health, specifically to help start 10 new Active Minds chapters in schools across the USA to help tear down the walls of isolation and shame surrounding mental health. II was super happy to have the chance to work on a project whose goal it is to make a difference. I generally absolutely love my work, but it can feel superficial so I'm always glad to work on something that supports the greater good :) If you like please check out the other illustrators who worked on this project, all the designs created are really brilliant :) @thisiswex @valheria123 @timbaronart @jangojim Also, posting this video feels really scary and vulnerable... but I really hope BOOM can make a big impact with this campaign, so... :) Sharing more about this in the next couple of days #mentalhealth #ADHD #illustration #shirtdesign

This illustration was for a really lovely job I worked on earlier this year. It’s a poster to celebrate the launch of Rebecca Solnit‘s new book „The Beginning Comes After the End“. I was super happy about this project as @grantabooks were looking for an artist let response which is just always so much fun and really triggers my creativity 💚✨ #publishing #posterdesign #lettering #illustration

Who cares about the state of the world as long as share holders are happy, right 🙄 I’ve been super frustrated about politics for a long time, there would be so many options to make society just better for all of us, but right now it feels like we‘re all walking straight back into olden times… #bobmarley #quote #lettering

Made this some years ago, but feeling it more the ever right now… #repostyourart #wewantchange #illustration #characterdesign #lettering

Haven‘t taken part in a challenge in ages, but I saw this one by @byjessicaelena and immediately thought of this piece I made some time ago… plus I usually find illustration challenges so stressful, but if I just have to share old artworks I‘m in :) #repostyourart #lettering #illustration #hi

Working on this map was so much fun, especially coming up with all the little details:) It’s a personal project, because I‘d love to create some more work for children’s books (especially maps 😀). I love creating new worlds, but coming from lettering it’s not something I got tons of experience in… #illustratedmap #childrensbook #bookillustration #fantasymap
