Hi, it's Christina Pencil!

I'm independent illustrator and the accidental mother of Ginger Cat, a small orange creature who somehow ended up loved by people all over the world.

I make simple, slightly silly animations full of emotion — the quiet kind, with a little humor, a little tenderness, and sometimes a tiny existential crisis. They’re my way of noticing things that often go unnoticed.

Right now, I live in Montenegro with my husband and our two kids. I work from home — usually somewhere between snack time, nap time, and “Mamaaa!” — and dream of one day moving into a house by the ocean, where I can draw to the sound of waves and children laughing in the yard.

What kind of merch do you offer?

My shop includes prints, posters, clothing, and occasional surprise items — all featuring my original artwork (including Ginger Cat!). Everything is made in small batches with lots of care.

What’s the quality like?

I only work with trusted partners and produce in small batches — so everything feels a little more personal and a lot more special.

All items in the shop are made with a focus on quality and detail.
Posters are printed on thick, museum-grade paper with archival inks.
Apparel is made from soft, durable fabrics with high-quality prints that last.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, I ship worldwide! Shipping rates and estimated delivery times are calculated at checkout based on your location.

Can I return or exchange an item?

Because most items are made to order, I can only accept returns if there's a production issue or damage. If something's wrong with your order, just email me and we’ll sort it out.
