Tailed messenger of love – old vs. new

I've been thinking a lot lately about how my approach to drawing has changed. The image on the left is one of my earliest designs for United Love Co. A simple cat silhouette, a heart, and a message. E…

Love takes the scenic route

A bald guy on an old Dutch bicycle, heading towards a heart. He could probably get there in a straight line. But where's the fun in that? There's a sleeping cat, a lost sneaker, a puddle, a butterfly,…
