Hello, hi! I’ve just migrated here from Instagram 👋

I’m Aimee, the owner of tiny art shop: Birds & Boba. I’m a nature-obsessed #sculptor and #illustrator, currently focused on making delicate ceramic jewellery.

If you followed me on IG, hello again! If you’re new here, I hope you stick around ❤️

An A6 notepad featuring a cute illustration of a frog on a lily pad in the bottom left corner. Next to him are reeds, and above him small daisies and bugs run along the page. There is a dragonfly and more bugs and daisies in the top right corner. The notepad has lines for writing, and a green gingham border. The top of the notepad reads “NOTES” in handwritten bubble text.

art vs artist :•)

A digital collage style painting of a green frog sitting on a lily pad among reeds. He’s smiling and has sparkly eyes, his head tilting upwards towards yellow stars above him. The background is royal blue.

The artist, Aimee. She has short, flicky black hair, a septum piercing and big cat eye makeup.

It’s coming up to market season for me, and I’ve FINALLY done a rebrand and ordered some cutesy business cards ✨

#smallbiz #smallbusiness #artist #art #artsky #birds

A square business card design for my art shop, Birds and Boba. The card has a blush pink border against a white background. A blush circle sits in the middle with a pigeon’s upper body. She is sipping a strawberry milk tea with a stripy pink straw. She has a small pink beak and bushy cheeks, with big sparkly eyes. The card reads “BIRDS & BOBA” in handwritten text.

Have a Good Day, in 3 easy steps!

Step 1. Go to the forest and collect some lichen

Step 2. Go home and craft the lichen into wearable art

Step 3. Wear your hoards of sparkly lichen rings in the garden like a fairy princess

Would love to be posting more, but the changing of the seasons and my work life balance are kicking my arse rn!!!

Anyway, here’s a lil house I scratched into a soya milk carton, inked up and ran through my pasta press 🏠

#tetrapak #printmaking #ink #art #artsky #cuteart #whimsy #ecoart #print

A small printed illustration of a cottage with arched windows and a tall tiled roof. The home has a chimney, and a cobblestone path leading away from the front door. A tree and a shrub are nestled either side of the cottage, and a vegetable patch and tulips and daisies lie among the grass. The sun is shining above and there are several fluffy clouds passing by.

The piece is in black and white, and has been printed using the Tetra Pak printing method.
