Time for a new mini interview!!! Every week I try to present someone new to you, an artist or a person, that inspires me. This week’s artist is Anke Weckmann, a german illustrator now living in London. I own various items that feature her lovely illustrations and just can’t get enough of it.

Check out her Portfolio and I urge you to visit her etsy shop as well (or Dawanda, if you’re living in Europe) :-)

Hi, my name is Anke Weckmann. I’m an illustrator and I live in London.

When I was a kid I liked drawing, reading and playing outside with my friends. I remember I always wanted to do creative things, building little huts, making little books and I always tried to find people that would teach me crafts.

Today I still love to do the same things. I love to draw, especially characters.

When I’m stuck in a project I make a lot of grumpy faces, make a cup of tea and just carry on.

I want to learn how to speak Swedish and how to do some amazing acrobatic yoga & pilates postures. (Well we’ll see how that goes)

Doing what I love & spring & going running with my boyfriend makes me happy.

RECIPE

This is my recipe for the most amazing simple Tomato/Pepper Salad.

You need three tomatoes, a red pepper and a bunch of chives. Cut

everything into small pieces (I think it’s best if it’s all in small

squares) and mix together. Prepare a dressing of a little bit of

oil, vinegar and salt and pepper.(You really just need a little amount

of dressing, as it’s already so tasty!) Mix with the salad. Instead of

chives, you can try parsley as well!

Bon Appetit.
