INTRODUCING

Me and Norman

Based in Cape Town, South Africa, Me and Norman is the imaginative collaboration between illustrator Steph Simpson and her mischievous imaginary friend, Norman Nanimal. While Steph brings the skill, Norman brings the chaos, curiosity, and fearless creativity - encouraging playful ideas and unexpected stories to unfold on every page.

Working across ink, gouache, and collage, Steph creates whimsical, story-rich artworks filled with humour, charm, and imagination. Her distinctive illustrations celebrate the joy of play and creativity, making each piece a conversation-starting addition to contemporary interiors.
