Sunny Beast

With a strong focus on sustainable materials & giving back to the environment, Sunny Beast creates vibrant items designed by Natasha Durley.

Natasha is an illustrator based near Bournemouth in the UK. She creates vibrant and playful images inspired by her favourite subject, the natural world. Her work has been commissioned for a wide range of applications; murals, homeware, stationery, apparel, toys and apps.

Book publications include the recently released What to look For series - a reboot of the well known Ladybird books, three non-fiction Creature Features books with Big Picture Press and Animals with Quarto Publishing.

After initial sketches, most pieces begin with paper & scissors. These cut-outs are scanned, along with mixed-media mark-making textures and sometimes even photographic textures Natasha has taken on country walks. These elements are finally assembled, layered and coloured in Photoshop, having fun with colour and happy accidents.
