<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Longtime Paper Nerd readers know that I have a special spot in my heart dedicated to British stationery design. Maybe it&#8217;s because I&#8217;ve never been able to get too excited about the Royals, but it&#8217;s more likely to be because every paper peep I meet from there is just so darn talented! </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Witness <a href="https://misterpeebles.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="https://misterpeebles.co.uk/">Mister Peebles</a>, for example. Its creator Helen, who you see above, illustrates her cards and other paper goods from her studio in London. &#8220;As a huge stationery fan myself, it&#8217;s a dream job,&#8221; she told me. &#8220;I paint with watercolours and love to make work that makes people smile, filled with animals and a sense of humor.&#8221; ;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Helen started Mister Peebles about 10 years ago with a handful of drawings on a market stall in East London. <br>&#8220;The work is inspired by a love of animals and silly wordplay,&#8221; she told me. &#8220;I love to see people smile and laugh when they see the drawings.&#8221;</p>
