Here be dragons!
Tom Carter, artist, Vancouver, BC. His style reminds me of the old postcards, hand drawn looking with that sort of range of colours. I would call it muted, for lack of a better word.

Happy Mail for Kids Such a cute idea for a business! It’s even Canadian. Makes me think of all my years writing penpals all over the world and sending postcards, stickers, local currency, friendship books, newspaper clippings and recipes – not so different from this.
