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.
