IF YOU COULD BE AN ANIMAL, WHICH ONE WOULD YOU BE AND WHY?

I'd probably be a dog. What a dream life! I would just nap all day.

NAME ONE THING ON YOUR BUCKET LIST?

Late-night dip in the sea from my boyfriend's sailing boat and eating crepes with strawberry jam after.

IF YOU COULD HAVE A SUPERPOWER WHICH ONE WOULD IT BE?

I'm very organized with a hint of messiness. My superpower would be that whenever I put an object down, it would automatically find its way to its own place.

DO YOU HAVE ANY PETS, IF SO WHAT ARE THEIR NAMES?

I don't have any pets of my own but I'm an auntie to four pups and they are called: Pulmu, Didi, Yoda and Leia.

WHAT KIND OF SANDWICH WOULD YOU BE?

Lotta as a sandwich would be filled with mozzarella, juicy Italian tomatoes and fresh basil with a hint of pepper and olive oil.

Favourite ART SUPPLY/TOOL?

This summer, I've worked a lot with Sakura Koi's bush pens. I love the amount of pigment the pens have and the tip is firm but at the same time gives room for a natural texture and chance that hand movement creates. Another favourite tool would be my iPad which allows me to draw and work with the illustrations by hand for quite a long before changing to a desktop to finalize the artwork.
