Rusty Studio

 

About

Rusty Studio is the creative world of my husband Russell an artist and illustrator with a background in fine art and advertising—and a lifelong love of vintage comics and annuals.

Born from lockdown sketching sessions and inspired by the family dog Toki, Russell developed the mischievous Rascals: a humorous cast of characters, including Yoki (dog) and Neko (cat), getting up to playful antics. Sharing their adventures on Instagram, the characters quickly grew into a popular range of risograph-printed greeting cards. Printed on the studio risograph machine, the cards feature minimal colours and graded tones that capture the nostalgic charm of 1950s comics.

Toki the Border Terrier continues to be both inspiration and Russells’ biggest fan!

Russell is a graduate of the MA in Children’s Book Illustration at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge, UK.
