Sempé

Jean-Jacques Sempé is one of my favourite cartoonists. I like his minuscule characters and the soft colours of his illustrations. He always manages to make me smile :)

Veronica Ballart Lilja

I love those watercolor illustrations by Veronica Ballart Lilja. The colour schemes are lovely. Ink stains never looked so beautiful! You can see more on her flickr, or purchase prints of her work at her etsy shop.

2010 calendars

Did you know that you can download those two prettily illustrated calendars for free? The first one is a monthly calendar from Gleaux, available at love.obsess.inspire., the second is a year-at-a-glance planner from Mibo, available at their site. If you prefer "a month per page" calendars, they also have a gorgeous 12 pages version that you can purchase for just £2.40. And one of the cutest Advent calendar to print and make yourself! No, it's not too late!

Flora Douville

Currently exploring Flora Douville's website... Loving her cute ideas... I especially like what she does with stamps :)

Ika Putranto

I love those illustrations from Ika Putranto.
