Hello and welcome to my illustrated newsletter.

Hi. I’m Eva Eland and this is my newsletter. I’m an author and illustrator of picture books, with a love for drawing, Risography and printmaking. Together with my husband and two little kids I live in Amsterdam. In this letter I will share new work, work in process and my thoughts on the creative process, Risography and picture books. You’ll also be the first to know of any new books or prints in my webshop.

What to expect?

An illustrated letter is my newsletter, but also expression of my love for writing, drawing, picture books, ideas, printmaking, the creative process and all the beautiful and unexpected things that life throws at me. I’m not sure what this little corner on the internet I found will become but here are some things you might find in your inbox if you subscribe:

Illustration sketches and work in progress

Risography, from sketch to finished print

Big emotions and my creative journey making books about them

Inspiration from other picture book illustrators, authors, artists or printmakers

Love letters to things and places that bring me joy

Ideas I have that I probably won’t have the time to make

Picture book recommendations

Q&A

New publications

New prints in my webshop and discount codes

For the moment it’s free to subscribe and free subscriptions will have access to all posts. If this Substack will grow into something that needs more of my time and attention, I will consider offering a paid subscription as well.
