My name is Bambi. Really.
I’m an illustrator, needle felter, stop-motion animator and serial anthropomorphizer living in Powell River, BC with my sidekick Midge.
My background in graphic design and hand-lettering come in handy when creating infographics and other pet-related illustrations for my Berner-centric biz, Beatrix & Midge Co.
My neighbourhood is home to coyotes, raccoons, rats, skunks and crows—a scrappy gang I refer to as the Darkside Five. Some may regard them as pests, but I think of them as my favourite neighbours. These days I spend much of my time making needle-felted wool versions of these critters and making cheeky animations with them.
