One of our Forest Fables artist, Kristina Collantes is one amazingly talented artist whom we’ve admired for a long time. So when she emailed us last fall, we jumped at the chance to work with her. We love her beautiful landscape and fantastical landscapes she created for us in the wallets and mousepad.

For our Illustrated Interview series, We asked her a several questions and asked her to illustrate the answers and we got some interesting answers. See if you can figure out for yourself.

Check out her work for Poketo here.

We love this illustrated interview with artist, Andrea Kang. It perfectly wraps up her cute style. If you don’t know, the original artwork of the Poketo wallet and mousepad are skilled, intricate cutouts from paper. Andrea’s art is part of The Forest Fables series, full of whimsy, nature, and mystery. Why are Andrea’s girls dancing in a circle together? What are they celebrating? How do they get along so well with wolves? All I know is that I want to be in their world.

Sometimes, we like to break it up a bit and introduce our artists in the form of as illustrated interviews, illustrated by the talented artists themselves!
