Michaela Hampshire

Illustrator, Artist, and Writer in Portsmouth, United Kingdom

One dog, one girl and a infinite amount of dreams.

Hello there, My name is Michaela Hampshire and I am the creator of PoonDoodle. You might be wondering what on earth is PoonDoodle and how did it come about, well let me tell you!

One afternoon I was sat there minding my own business and I began to draw, the feelings of joy and comfort I got from the art form came flooding back to me as my pencil danced across the white pages. The first thing I thought of to draw was my beloved Muumin. She lay beside me and snored in her sleep, her tiny paws kicking about as she slept.

This brought on a powerful thought process, the what if questions began to flood in. What if I could sell these doodles? What if I actually gave it a try?

Next the naming became a focus, what would I call this dream project? My eyes fell upon Muumin once again, PoonDoodle! That's it, PoonDoodle! Now Poon is the nickname I have for Muumin and seeing as she was the first doodle I had done in a long while it was settled it would be named after her.
