Your favourite places, illustrated with lots of love and the right amount of fun

Are you the kind of person that stops their stroll just to admire a cool shopfront, cosy cafĆ© or whimsy bookstore? You’re in the right place, because I draw them and turn them into cute products and illustrated maps!

Hi, I am Alina

I’m the illustrator and maker behind Dear Map Illustration. I love capturing the world around me in colourful illustrated maps and fun illustrations that I turn into handmade products.

Over the past 10 years I have lived in 5 countries and many different cities, which probably fuelled the urge to illustrate my surroundings and create special memory pieces for myself. 
At the moment I live in the Netherlands, so a lot of my illustrations center around The Hague (my current home of choice) and surrounding Dutch cities and special places.
