Blood of the covenant is thicker than water of the womb.

This tee illustrated in the ornamental, medieval art style celebrates our found families, our friend groups with all their quirks. Speaking to LGBT+ history and marginalised experience, it highlights the joy of finally finding your people in the world.

Found families and community have always resided in the special place among the queer history, as well as the lives of immigrants and other marginalized folks.
Love and care within friendships is so important. We all have a deep need for a community (even a tiny one) with whom you can casually spend time being fully yourself, and knowing you’ll be supported, lifted up and cherished.

Slavic Folklore Print set | Slavtober 2025
£15.00

I started Slavtober as a personal challenge in 2020, a small project to re-connect with my own heritage .The pieces created during that time have developed and turned into my Slavic Mythology book.

Slavtober has since grown to a small community of creatives coming together each October on the socials to celebrate Slavic and Balkan culture, folklore and creativity.

This mini print series is based on four weekly prompts of Slavtober 2025, with drawings created in pencils and ink, and colours added digitally. Here you will find an essence of Polish and Eastern European folk elements that resonated with me: Forefathers Eve (Dziady), a collection of protective charms (like the motanka doll), mythical water demon Rusalka, and - lastly - a tribute to being a Slavic foodie!

What do my customers say?

  • Amazing artwork and clever design! A great way to show off your Slavic heritage and swag!

    Kate | Ordered: Babushka tee

  • The comic itself is absolutely stunning, both in terms of quality and the illustrations inside. Dark forest vibes were exactly what I was looking for. And the shiny butterfly on the cover is such a nice bonus!

    Adrianna | Ordered: Rusalka: Whispers of the Forest

  • Kamila's approach was professional, yet warm and engaging, making the entire process incredibly smooth. Communication was spot-on—she kept me updated at every step, showing me her progress to make sure I was completely happy with the direction of the piece. The level of care and attention she brought to the project was remarkable, and it made me feel like my vision truly mattered. I would highly recommend Kamila to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated illustrator who goes above and beyond!

    Giulia Hepburn | Ordered: Portrait Commission

  • Beautiful art and very informative! The artist also provided a list of their sources in the introduction (though they're in Polish so I can't track them down myself), which I always appreciate! A lot of Slavic mythology and folklore sources are hard to find where I live, so even though this is a really brief booklet it's a nice item to have on my shelf.

    O | Ordered: Slavic Mythology book

  • Love the looks on my colleagues faces when they see this on my work water bottle. Keep up the gay, keep up the crime!

    Jenn | Ordered: Be crime, Do Gay sticker

  • This is a really well made, quality comic/graphic novel. Enjoyed discovering Slavic folklore and really glad that I bought the more complete story. The story and illustrations are really good and the seller provided a great service. Dispatch was quick and the packaging was good.

This representative ensures compliance with EU safety standards for all products sold or sent to the EU, including handmade and gifted items.
