Hi, I'm Eve Howe - owner of the Pesky Cat Studio - and I can proudly say that "quirky" is my style. I feel at times, it should be my middle name!

I live with my husband, our 2 sons (4 and 16) and 2 extremely quirky dogs, in Rotterdam, Netherlands. We lead an expat life and just about manage to navigate the cards we'd been dealt.

I adore cats! We used to have one called Marvel, but unfortunately he was taken way too soon from us. Pesky Cat Studio is an homage to him and my husband, Martin. Martin ALWAYS called Marvel "pesky cat" for sleeping on his pillow, causing him to sneeze uncontrollably throughout the day! Yeah, the allergies, they never helped my husband OR our teenage son navigate all the cat-things :-)

I am such a sucker for vintage things (I am kind of vintage myself) and what I do remember from my childhood is stories. Illustrated so imperfectly perfectly. Whimsy, with a bit of cheek, unexpected drawings, where holding an Apple pencil down will not magically straighten a line and double-tap will not erase a "mistake". Even though I still double-tap my sketchbook page to erase.

If my imperfectly perfect lines feel like they’d belong on your products or walls, I’d love to hear from you. I’m available for licensing and creative collaborations — from wallpapers to home decor fabrics.

Drop me a message and let’s chat about bringing a little Pesky Cat magic into the world.
