Wild Life is created by Kayoko Kawano. A designer living in Tofino, a small surf town on the ruggedly beautiful coast of Vancouver Island. Originally, from Toronto, with a background in the clothing industry, you can sometimes see that the outfits on the little creatures are designed by a trained professional. Moving to Vancouver Island shortly after university opened a new landscape of inspiration and possibilities.

The Pacific Northwest kindled a want to share her love of nature through art and re-awakened a lifelong drawing practice. Inspired by the new experiences exploring the coast and a want to revisit memories of camping as a kid in the Ontario wilderness, Wild Life came to be. Using old fashioned pen and paper and a modern computer, these drawings have been a passion project that continues to grow in wild ways.
