“Carolyndraws is the brainchild of Toronto-based Illustrator, letterpress printer and people watcher, Carolyn Verkuyl.”

Carolyn’s art form is a true labour of love. Her illustrations and fonts are all hand drawn, she mixes her own inks, and works on an old, manual letterpress that prints only one sheet of paper at a time. She prints, cuts, folds, trims and packages each card individually.
