Today, I bring you a giveaway from SouleMama Sponsor, Lineanongrata. In Julia's words:
"Lineanongrata is all about illustration. In the shop you'll find prints, postcards, buttons, mirrors and bottle openers. Every item is lovingly made with a sweet and quirky illustration."
Follow along with Julia on her blog!
SouleMama: What inspired you to start your business?
Julia: The fact that I am completely useless at anything else in life. I use my fingers to count to ten. Don't ever ask me to add five to seven, to keep a household or anything else organized. I believe tax papers are a modern form of torture, writing invoices is almost worse than passing a math exam in Highschool and if somebody could tell me where I put the list with my computer passwords I'd be incredibly grateful. The only time when the world is safe from me and I feel really happy is when I can sit down with a pencil in my hand and a piece of paper in front of me.
SouleMama: How do you come up with new designs and ideas?
Julia: There are moments when ideas are plenty and seem so easy to come by that it's elating. At other times I have to will myself to sit down every morning and start work because every drawing, every sketch, everything I do seems devoid of sense. Whenever I talk to my fellow creatives they tell me that everybody goes through these phases. Recently I've come upon a quote by Pablo Picasso: 'Inspiration exists, it just has to find us working'. And I find that to be true. It is incredibly rare that inspiration strikes with a loud blast of thunder and vivid, multicolored flash of lightning. Usually it just seeps in while I work, almost unseen or unnoticed in the beginning of every illustration, making itself known only later, until in the end I can say 'Oh! So that's what you intended to be?!'
SouleMama: What's the product or offering you're most excited about right now?
Julia: I'm very happy with the new series of fairytale-inspired illustrations. 'Jorinde and Jorindel' is one, 'The magic hat' is another example. Also, many of the illustrations that were previously only available as prints can now be ordered as postcards, too. A way to either send art to a loved one or to hang up a wider range of illustrations at a more affordable price (because they look good framed, too).
