Art and gifts for wee ones.
Gentlemaus creates beautiful and affordable pieces of art to adorn the walls of children's rooms, nurseries & other magical spaces. All goods found here are illustrated and designed by children's book illustrator Erica Sirotich in Buffalo, NY. They and printed offsite (but in the USA) and shipped directly to you by my printing partner.
In my freelance illustration career I specialize in the children's market, creating images for children's books and magazines. It seemed only natural that I also create illustrations that can be enjoyed by children and their families in their homes. So, in early 2011, I opened the Cuddlefish Press shop to make my illustrations accessible to the public. When living in San Francisco (2011-2015), I showed and sold prints at festivals and fairs around the Bay Area. Now I focus on book and freelance work at my home in Buffalo, NY, and offer a limited selection of prints here on Etsy under my shop's new name, Gentlemaus. I love seeing how folks respond to my work the first time they see it, and the fact that my pieces adorn the walls of children's rooms and other happy spaces around the world is such an honor!
