Menagerie

Remember Anke Weckmann's inspiring work? Well, she designed two of the postcards in this brand new Menagerie book by Girls Who Draw, along with the covers. Menagerie is a limited edition collection (800 copies) of 24 beautiful postcards by Gemma Correll, Sarah Ray, Mary Kilvert, Yee Tin Kuit, Currentstate, Michelle Turton, Karoline Rerrie, Amy Timms, Ruth Green and Kate Hindley. You can buy it from Anke's etsy or Dwanda shop.
Hurry, hurry, this would make a great stocking filler (7.5 EUR).

Anke Weckmann

Anke Weckmann's favourite thing in the world is drawing.



Anke left her native Germany to live in London in 2001. She studied illustration at Camberwell College of Art and Kingston University and has worked as a freelance illustrator since graduating in 2005.



Anke boasts an impressive list of clients including the Guardian, The Times, Newsweek, Vogue Italia, Bang Art, 5280 Magazine, Royal Mail, Poketo and Red Cap Cards. Her portfolio is amazing, I take my hat off to her.


I fell in love with Anke's work today when I saw these dolls


She likes black ink


little birds


and cats.


Anke has a fab website (named after a bird) and a shop on etsy and dwanda. She loves making pretty things in general so take a peek at her pendants and felt brooches too.
I've also started following her blog.
Enjoy!
