About me
Hello! I’m Jess - a British-Slovak illustrator based in Limoges, France I have always been interested in illustration & image-making and couldn’t imagine having a career that didn’t involve drawing! I love to embrace playful and cute themes within my work. I try to celebrate positivity however I can and enjoy drawing things that could inject a much-needed dose of happiness into someone’s day. Although digital, I ensure that my illustrations still have a hand-drawn and imperfect charm through my use of line and texture. I also like to work with limited colour palettes to create bright striking visuals. I draw inspiration from graphic novels, anime & manga, my daily life in France as a foreigner, animals and silly internet memes.
