The bustop ink experiment

Triscia

I’m so loving these beautiful illustrations by Philip, who runs a blog called White Peppers Ice Cream. His flickr page is a treasure trove of fun, lovely drawings that only makes me too happy to stare. He doesn’t have a shop yet, but he’s now busy doing up a book project, which I think will turn out to be amazing based on the sneak preview alone.
