"A tribute to lace, embroidery and eyelet fabric.

LittleLion + ‘THE’COWZ = more options

LittleLion Studio Inc. has a new brand for wall decals: ‘THE’COWZ – not just any sticker.
Over the years, LittleLion has become more than just stock image and quickly matured into a brand with a clear identifiable style focused on children, nature and delicate feminine themes. Now that we are shifting from a strictly digital product [...]

Simplicity Is Key

One concern which constantly permeates my illustrations is usability. Creating images from a blank digital canvas can be liberating and all but if your goal is to reach the microstock audience, you’d better keep your work useful. Unless of course, you are planning on selling your work through art galleries, but that is a totally [...]

Coordinated Graphics

Here we are at it again. :) Seamless patterns are all the rage but there comes a time in the life of an illustrator when… okay, too dramatic, let’s try this again.
Seamless patterns can be dandy and [...]

Meanwhile

Hello earthlings, fear not, LittleLion is still here and still pumping, so don’t write us off just yet! ;-) The short absence is justifiable, read through if you will.

As most of you know by now, LittleLion Studio started as a hobby and as such, without rules, guidelines, best-practices and methods. [...]

Moonbeams In A Starry Night

It is funny how the mind plays tricks on us. When we dream everything is so clear, so real and maybe it is… what is reality after all? Yet, when we wake up the brain starts to flush away those memories and what once was so absolutely vivid becomes blurred and vanishes [...]

Need For Speed

"Au-au!" or "woof-woof!" as it is probably more suitable. Either way this is the story of a dog whom had "the need, the need for speed!". That is one reckless dog for sure. I tried to warn him about the consequences of all his crazy adventures… I told him "son, your [...]

Life In The Woods

The fifth installment of the "Baby Prints" collection brings a very important business implication for those who, like myself, sell Royalty Free licenses to the microstock market.
Unfortunately, once an image hits the microstock agencies, behind its sales hides an enormous number of irregular license uses. Honestly, I cannot put a number [...]

Breezy Meadows

Designing floral patterns for a baby collection is a highly subjective thing to do. Do flowers and floral arrangements really have an applicable,  predetermined age range

from a commercial standpoint? I would guess the answer is no, but a "no" which goes both ways: one can easily apply a supposedly "baby" floral [...]

Bubbly Bear

"Bubbly Bear" is the second installment of the "Baby Prints" collection which, as the name suggests, caters for the ever growing "baby" market segment.
Talking about colors at this point would be an exercise in futility, so instead, I would simply like to share with you a bit of my reasons and [...]

Queen Of Dots

So here it is. The first of a series of prints for all things baby: The "Queen Of Dots". From onesies to the nursery’s wallpaper, from birth announcements to cute blankets, the application of this print is as broad as your imagination.
Since several of my "baby" designs end up in children [...]

Valentines is upon us once again and I would like to take this opportunity to introduce to you a little someone who helped me step into the world of commercial vector art illustration professionally… ladies and gentleman, I give you Gertrude!
