Meet my newest greetings cards stockist everyone! The absolutely brilliant Murphy and Bailey in East Belfast!

I don’t know who is more excited about this, myself or our little pup Frida! I reached out to Murphy and Bailey not long after Frida became a part of our life and to my delight they agreed to stock my pet themed cards, as well as commission a series of postcard illustrations based around Murphy and Bailey!

I couldn't resist dropping the cards off in person and bringing Frida along for a little nosey. She enjoyed a puppiccino or two while she was there, loved all the attention and of course we bought her lots of great new bits and bobs too!

The shop is just stunning and so quirky. I really wanted to reflect this and do it justice in my illustrations.

This was one of those lovely occasions where I could just picture how the postcards would look right from the start, so very little design time went into these early sketches.

I loved seeing the designs come to life in the artwork. All of the postcards have been an absolute pleasure to work on… dogs, scenery, architecture, a bit of culture (my favourite things) and all for a fantastic local business!

You can find Murphy and Bailey on 65 Belmont Road, East Belfast. They also have a beautiful website you can visit here. You’ll want to buy everything if you’re anything like me!

And just in case you’re interested… here’s Frida wearing some of the lovely treats I mentioned. I’m a bit biased, but doesn’t she make a fantastic dog model?!
