Midsummer: Mermaids and Minotaurs

and some cheeky fauns

Jun 20, 2024

Happy midsummer friends!

I know that last time I promised a deep dive into the icons of the Dutch children’s book scene, (and I absolutely will) but this week I got so inspired and excited that I’ve been making tiny lino’s all week. Here are some of the prints I made and the sketches leading up to them.

I’m so excited about this project. I have no idea where it might lead or if my perky mermaid is suitable for children’s publishing, but I love her confidence.
The plan is to make a series of tiny lino’s about all sorts of legendary creatures, so if you have any suggestions, let me know in the comments.
