Part illustrator, part model maker, part engineer and full time Handsome Frank royalty, paper artist Helen Musselwhite visited our studio for our 20th episode.


We catch up with perhaps our most analogue artist to discuss her childhood fascination with model villages, thinking in 3D, and how she uses her photography skills to bring her paper worlds to life.

We took a trip to Paris to meet with the wonderful Agathe Singer and discuss all things gouache, juggling childcare and tiny lifts.

We had a lovely chat with typographer and illustrator Tobias Hall. He treated us to pizza and we got to stroke his giant cat. 

We headed to glorious Brighton to chat to the lovely Paul Thurlby.

With the sun shining we met up with Emily Robertson for a good chat, a giggle and some custard tarts. 

It's lockdown right now so we jumped on a Zoom call with LA based illustrator Sebastian Curi to talk about how he made it into the industry and how he's coping in these bizarre times. 

We sat down and chatted to illustrators Tom Haugomat and Bruno Mangyoku who share a top-floor studio in Paris, accessible only by the worlds smallest lift.
