Researching Postcards I came across this collection in Paperchase by illustrator Mandy Sutcliff.
Looking on her website which was available on the cards it describes her work as " deceptively simple and stylish images that capture vividly those precious moments in time enjoyed by children....her illustrations are full of dreamy colours that invoke memories of childhood and nostalgia. "
I went on to discover she has placed her illustrations on a wide range of media as I plan to do so. Looking through her website there is a lot of inspiration for when designing my own. Mandy is a excellent example of how creating a collection and variety of merchandise can make a very successful illustrator. Her merchandise consists of Prints, Cards, Postcards, Clothing, Cushions, Badges, Fabric character figurines, Childrens Books and Gift Tags... the possibilities of creating a collection is endless.
This is a screen shot of the layout on her website for future reference when designing my site:
Hello Lauren, thanks so much for such a wonderful feature on your blog, we really appreciate it.
