Emily Johnston

I live in a little village just outside the beautiful town of Stamford in Lincolnshire. I live with my two children, dog and a crazy Bengal cat! I have a degree in Graphic Design and have been a Freelance Illustrator for 8 years. My favourite things to draw are owls, robots, animals, buildings and monsters! I get inspiration from films, travel, my children, books and music. In my studio I have music playing all the time! My favourite illustrator whilst growing up was Brian Wildsmith. My designs are always fun, happy and full of colour and detail. I’m thrilled my work translates so well into cross stitch. I currently design stationery products including cards and wrapping paper for Phoenix Trading.
