who
are you, How did you get started, what do you make ?
We
are Emily and Chris, an illustrator/graphic designer and an artist/illustrator.
We
got started when Chris did some really cool sketches that I then worked up into
illustrations. We both got really inspired by each other.
The
stuff we make is colourful and playful designs, mainly for children but
sometimes for adults too. We started with a number of prints but are looking to
develop other products too.
We have been doodling most of our lives and that’s where our name comes from with the ‘moo' - fun touch. Hence our business name Doodlemoo

What/who
inspires you ?
We
get inspired by lots of different things, such as typography, fine art,
Japanese illustration and contemporary cartoons.
I
Emi loves contemporary art, Matisse, Paul Klee, characters we grew up with like
Miffi, Astroboy, Japanese manga, David Shrigley, Friends with you, Saul
Bass...so many favourites!….while I, Chris loves graphic artists like Tom Gauld
and Stephen Collins and fine artists like Philip Guston or William Scott.
Your
favourite pieces and materials…
Our
favourite piece has to be our very first, which is the dinosaur series. They
are very special to us, as we developed it after our first son was born and
painted his whole bedroom in the designs. The Alphabet is also a favourite as
we had so much fun making it, developing the characters and putting them
together with the cool typefaces.
As a
child, what did you want to be when you grow up ?
I
(Emi) wanted to be an astronaut for a long time…. (Chris) I was obsessed with
fossils for a while so wanted to be an archeologist but I changed my mind a lot
back then!
