Alison of Eastwitching does up all kinds of animals in one-off watercolor originals – and they’re waiting for you to bring them home! (I’d go for the Jack Russell Terrier if I didn’t have two terrorizing my home already!)

Please meet Natsuki Otani.

Hello, my name is Natsuki Otani and I am from Tokyo, studied at Norwich University College of the Arts and am working in England as a freelance illustrator. I’m loving green tea flavoured latte and listening to Efterklang at the moment. I adore my family, friends, and hamsters, I describe myself as patient and can be reckless without knowing.

No need to remember her, because I bet she’ll be illustrating everywhere for everyone soon. It’s just a matter of time.

Thank you so much for coming along for the Good to Know project!

As a token of appreciation, you can download the PDF copy of the zine above for free, and if you’d like to have a copy to keep, it costs just USD$5.00 and already includes shipping. I’ve tried to see if I could afford to send it to everyone for free, but I don’t think that’s possible — so this price will cover the minimum shipping + misc fees!

I would love it if you would love to participate again for the next round. We’re switching it up a little with a little more fun thrown in!

NEXT ISSUE:
Send me the best advice you’ve heard as an artist via this twitter hashtag: #GTK9 and I’ll compile them all!

What comes next will be announced later on!

p/s—the complimentary issue is for your eyes only! I would appreciate that you do not share this link with others — if you’d like to direct others to the Good to Know zine, please direct them to this page: www.pikaland.com/goodtoknow.

Thanks everyone!
