A bit about Leona...
Leona Corbin is the one-woman show behind ‘Leona Corbin Studio’, a small home-grown illustration shop that specializes in humorous and joyful illustrations. Leona is a self-taught artist who has been creating artwork for family and friends since as early as she can recall.
“I remember being a kid, dreaming up ideas before I would fall asleep at night –and I would have to pop out of bed and scribble my designs onto scrap paper, hunched over on the floor in the dark of my room, drawing my ideas as fast as I could so as not to forget them by morning.
That feeling - the excitement and anticipation of drawing, of getting something out of my head and into the world - is what has led me to create the MAIL CLUB. I want to revisit those joyful, exciting moments I had as a child, making my own art, letting my ideas grow and form into something I could hold. And I want to share that feeling with others.
The MAIL CLUB is meant to extend that excitement and anticipation to you - while you wait to receive the mail, and then, when you get to joyfully tear open the envelope to see what's inside.”
About the Artwork
Leona Corbin Studio designs are inspired by ordinary people, ordinary things, and a bit of humour. Ideas are always quickly scribbled onto anything paper-like that’s around when inspiration strikes –old receipts, used or unused napkins, the back of printer paper, and of course a proper sketchbook. Designs that make the cut are then hand-rendered with ink and finished with watercolour (Leona’s preferred medium after years of playing with a variety of materials). Original artwork designs are printed on matte paper to create a unique print for your enjoyment, and Mail Club postcards are printed on 100% cotton fine-art paper.
