Illustrator Interview 18: Zosia Olenska
1. How long have you been an illustrator/artist? Not very long at all really, I’d say that everything has come together in the last year or so. I have always loved drawing and I specialised in sculpture when I was at school, but both my parents were artists who had to shift their career paths […]

Laser cut calendar designed by Rob Ryan

Artist / Designer Interview 3 – Kim White
