Delve into the imagination of Scottish designer and illustrator Johanna Basford and experience her inky black world of print and pattern.

Johanna is a creative catch-all, working on a variety of projects and commissions, injecting each with a smattering of her passion for the delicate and ornate. She is not a Photoshop Technician, but an ink-splattered imaginative force creating her hand penned artworks and designs, underpinned by her ‘paint not pixels' approach.

Drawing inspiration from her childhood on a rural Scottish fish farm, Johanna's intricate illustrations are drawn by hand, ensuring each piece is completely unique and retains an intrinsic sense of charm.
