I often peruse etsy in search of lovely and clever things for which I never seem to have enough pocket change to actually buy. Due to this little 'bunny-trail habit' of mine, I have an ever lengthening, rapidly growing wishlist. In any case, I was thrilled to find this fetching print by Zara Picken. So, pull out your pockets and see if your pocket change adds up.

ABOUT : ZARA PICKEN

 My name is Zara Picken and I have been working as an illustrator since graduating from the University of the West of England with a First class honours degree in Illustration in 2008. I am influenced by mid-century modern design and have a passion for old paper-based ephemera. I also find inspiration in vast collections, large cities and obscure music.

My work - retro-tinted with textured blocks of colour - combines digital and handmade elements. Projects begin with pencil drawings and are completed using Photoshop in a distinctive style. My work is ideas-led, approaching each brief with an open mind and focusing on conveying concepts and messages with a striking aesthetic.

In my spare time, I enjoy being a technology geek, playing bad cover versions on the ukulele and improving my coffee-making skills.

I am based in Bristol, England.
