Pretty little thing: Meet Deborah Ballinger returning to reetsweet

Pretty stoked to have Deborah from @DBIllustrations on board for dec with pieces like this, perfect for gifts...we love her style, especially her new fake tattoos...ahh!

Deborah did her degree at Norwich University of the Arts where she graduated with a 2:1 and a hunger to get creating.

Inspired by history, culture, flora and fauna and traditions, Deborah uses these themes and more to create beautifully dark, natural and traditonal illustrations. Striving to keep many traditional and handmade elements within her work, Deborah uses the process of collage to begin breathing life into her pencil drawings before translating these onto textiles, stationery, giftware and printed matter.
