A big warm hello from down south.


  Let me introduce myself, my name is Hannah Backshall, I am a graphic designer and illustrator living in a small town just outside of Brighton on the south coast of England. 

 I live with my wonderful partner Jaz and our two cats Shintu and Wusells. One of our favourite things to do at the weekend is to attend as many car boots as we can, picking up interesting posters and old toys mostly. I am also a huge animal lover and one day hope to own my own little farm out here in the countryside where i can set up a studio surrounded by wild flowers.
  
 I design and draw anything from logos to children's book illustrations.  I thought it would be great idea to start a blog so that I can connect with other creative people and hopefully meet some like-minded people.

 My work is heavily influenced by old picture books, vintage figurative toys, music, cartoons, haute couture, Japanese animation and culture.

 I mostly enjoy laughing, drawing, baking, sewing and exercising, I want to use this blog to share my adventures, drawings, recipes, and tips and tricks that I have picked up over the years. 

Anyway I hope you will enjoy my blog and be inspired to explore and be creative in your own life.






Hannah.
