About Johanna Basford

Johanna Basford: I am an illustrator and ink evangelist who prefers pens and pencils to pixels. I draw pictures and make colouring booksIve sold 25 million of them around the word perhaps youve seen one? Im on a mission to inspire the world to put down their devices and pick up a pen or pencil and create a little moment of calm in their day. Anyone can draw or be creative you just need a little nudge! For me computer generated artwork lacks the warmth and charm of something hand drawn so I create all my artwork by hand; drawing first in pencil then redrawing in ink. I love the tactile nature of the materials I use and the joy of smudgy fingerprints. My delicate hand inked designs intend to charm and delight inviting you to peer closer and discover the hidden intricacies. I craft images that invite you to pause and examine the artwork a little closer. Hidden within the flora and fauna are rogue butterflies half hidden hedgehogs and even the odd little owl!  In 2019 I broke the Guinness World Record for creating the largest drawing by an individualbut I like drawing little pictures too!
