Liekeland SALE!

For the first time since I started creating prints in 2011, I’m holding a sale!

Liekeland has been running smoothly for 13 years, turning the things I love most into illustrations and selling them as signed prints in my online store. It had been an ongoing process where I devoted most of my time to creating and regularly releasing new prints.

That is, until I became a mum! That’s when my once-tidy studio cabinet turned into utter chaos. Over the past two years, time became precious, and I lost track of what was in my online store. I had just enough time to manage the essentials —custom illustrations, bookkeeping— but things definitely weren’t running as smoothly as before.

My second son is now half a year old, and slowly but surely, I’m finding more time on my hands, along with the desire to get organized. I needed more structure in my online store, so I sat on the floor and counted every single print in my studio cabinet. Now, I know exactly what I have in stock and have realized some of these prints have been in my collection since the very beginning of Liekeland! It’s time to make space for new work — clearing space in the cabinet also means creating space in my head for new prints.

So, with all that said, I’m holding a sale! All the cards, bags, some originals, and a large part of my collection of prints are discounted at 30%, 50%, and even 70%. I’m excited for these prints to find a new place in your home. Whether they brighten up a quiet nook or add something special to your favorite room, I hope they bring as much joy to you as they did to me while creating them.

Love from Lieke
