My First Crush: The Handmade Art and Animation of Julia Pott

Julia Pott is an illustrator who joined Etsy just a few short months ago. Her artwork was recently used to highlight an article in the Storque, and the very generous ArgyleWhale provided a link to the following animation. Julia’s stylish and adorable illustrations translate very nicely into some of the most beautiful animations we at the Storque have seen of late. The storytelling aspect of her work: My First Crush is particularly unique, and as ArgyleWhale puts it: “It makes my heart flutter.”

Thanks for pointing this out, ArgyleWhale! What an adorable piece of work. Crushes are awesome!

Check out Juliapott today for more amazing illustration.

    Oh my! This IS precious... and sad ... and happy. All of those things that crushes are... I want to know about Jackie Davis. Does she know Steve is still in love with her? The background music is enchanting. Thank you Storque. Thank you ArgyleWhale. and beautiful work Juliapott and crew. I am now a new fan. :-)
