Illustration & Pattern Design

Check out the Sweet Coquelicot blog posts!

Hello! Welcome to the Sweet Coquelicot blog!

On this blog, I want to give you a bit more of a behind-the-scenes look—my thought process, the tools I use, and everything else that’s connected, directly or indirectly, to my world and the field of pattern design and illustration. So here you’ll find posts about the materials I use, illustration in general, questions that come up regularly about my work, and more. I want this blog to be a place for discussion and sharing, so please feel free to comment on any posts that make you wonder or simply spark a reaction—always with kindness and respect, of course.

I hope you enjoy reading this, and I look forward to hearing from you!
