About
Hello, I’m Caroline, creative soul and entrepreneur, Japan lover and passionate illustrator, storyteller, printmaker and surface pattern designer.
I was born an artist and I believe it to be my purpose and destiny.
I am passionate, authentic and truly me.
I create to never ever lose the twinkle in my eyes.
All my creations start with a pencil on paper, followed by water coloring, inking or printing, often in combination. Using my digital skills in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, my illustrations are transformed into patterns and artworks for print. I love to draw, but I am also a printmaker at heart. Seeing my work displayed on different materials, especially fabric and paper, make my heart jump with joy.
Studio Mick is derived from ‘Les Mille Idées de Caroline Kaiser’ M I C K, my very first studio name. It literally means ‘The one thousand ideas of Caroline Kaiser’. When I decided to shorten the name, the idea came up to only use the first letters, in order to secretly keep the message of the ‘one thousand ideas’ that define me and my studio so well. Some people call me Mick and it makes me smile.
Welcome to my enchanting universe where the magic happens and illustrations come to life!
