Jean Claude is a self-taught illustrator from the UK, currently living and working in Brooklyn, New York. He lives with his partner and child, and their (slightly) overweight cat. When he's not drawing he loves making ceramics in a local studio, visiting the botanical gardens, and baking bread.

Liz Forester is a self-taught surface designer, illustrator, and lover of patterns. She is inspired by the natural world, vintage illustration, children’s books, folk art, and mid-century design. She enjoys experimenting with diverse subject matters, techniques, and a variety of styles. She delights in creating prints and patterns that run the gamut from sophisticated geometrics and vintage florals to quirky conversationals and fun art for children. Liz resides in the beautiful countryside of northern Maryland where she is surrounded by fields, forests, and mountains. When she’s not designing, she’s spending time with her children and pets or enjoying one of her many hobbies: sewing, knitting, needlepointing, gardening, reading, and hiking.
