linotte


the illustrations of german born, london based illustrator anke wekman (pen name: linotte) seem equally suited for both adults and children. her charming assortment of zany characters of both the human and animal variety both delight and amuse me. and by her own desricption of her interests, it seems that she would as well: "she has a fondness for black ink, harriet the spy, small birds, stripey socks, documentaries, sketchbooks, spring, and potatoes."

the above image is from "it's a moustache world," a book about moustaches in which she juxtaposes her illustrations and her photographs.
