Had a wonderful creative reconnection with Margaret Sturton last week. We talked about silencing the inner critic, making space for joy, and taking a kinder approach to creativity.

I wrote about it on my Substack.

I had a lot of fun during the ‘research’ phase, making my picture book Where is the Cat? as you can see here in the end papers 🤭
Do you have a cat? And where’s the strangest place they’ve ever hidden?

The paperback edition of Where is the Cat? is out today! 🐱✨

To celebrate, I made a few new cat risoprints, now up in my webshop evaeland.com. I’ve also written about the making of this book in my latest Substack, which will go out today. open.substack.com/pub/evaeland

Are you looking for Happiness?

New riso print in my webshop, the opening page of my picture book Where Happiness Begins, published with @andersenpress.bsky.social Seems an apt illustration for January?

Tiny colour experiments with risograpy. Keeping it small so it’s easy for me to carve out some time for experiments and play. The colours I used here are the difficult to capture fluorescent orange and blue. #risography
