LeopardyNonsense cards, prints and gifts feature cute, happy animal characters drawn by me and printed sustainably by businesses local to Scotland and the North of England.

From pocket-money friendly badges to giclée fine art prints, my products make great gifts for animal lovers.

My cards celebrate seasonal dates (Christmas, Easter, Father’s Day, Halloween, etc) and are perfect for marking special occasions like birthdays and weddings, or for sending someone a smile any day of the week.

“I first came across Elaine’s artwork when she took a stall at one of Edinburgh Zoo’s seasonal markets. The LeopardyNonsense designs include some of the more unusual animals we care for at Edinburgh Zoo, so we were delighted to feature a range of her Christmas cards and badges in our main gift shop in 2024. Following on from the success of the Christmas designs, we have now expanded our range to include everyday cards and badges. Elaine’s original and whimsical style has proved very popular with our visitors, and we are thrilled to be able to support this local artist.”
