It’s Liekeland’s birthday! 🎉

Exactly 14 years ago, on 11 July 2011, I officially started working as an illustrator. I printed my first postcards at a local print shop, sold them to nearby stores, and one day, an editor from a Dutch magazine bought one of those cards, that’s when the real adventure began.

I’m still incredibly grateful for how everything unfolded. Every order, publication, and project helped me continue doing what I love: working as an illustrator. A job that has given me the freedom to create from the heart and follow my intuition.

To celebrate, you’ll receive a print + a postcard set (6 cards) with every order placed between now and 20 July.

Thank you so much for all the support over the years. And do you remember these two paper animals? You can download them again for free!

Much love,

Lieke

World Animal Protection + Dille & Kamille + Liekeland

Since I started illustrating for World Animal Protection in 2020, this is the third time we’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with one of my favorite shops Dille & Kamille.

Together with World Animal Protection and Dille & Kamille, I’ve created a new set of five cards with envelopes. What makes this collaboration extra special is that 20% of the proceeds goes to World Animal Protection! They work across the globe to protect animals — both in the wild and on farms, and together with animal lovers, they strive for a world free from animal suffering.

You can help World Animal Protection and order the cards through the Dille & Kamille website or visit them in the Dille & Kamille stores!
