We are a husband and wife team based in South Yorkshire.
I (Jessie) make colourful, playful art inspired by animals and nature. My art uses a combination of digital techniques and traditional media including pencil crayon, acrylic paints, watercolours, inks, and collage. David uses his tech wizardry skills to turn this art into greetings cards, prints, and patterns, and our senior Border Collie Lucy (aka Bear) makes sure that we both take regular breaks to rub her tummy.
Lovelace and Bear hq is based in our home in South Yorkshire. Everything is created by us, without the use of generative AI in any form. We outsource all our printing to our print partner in order to make sure our products are the highest possible quality.
When I’m not covered in paint I enjoy reading, watching horror films, doing all the crafts, and playing World of Warcraft.
David spends his free time making music, watching heist films, and gaming.
Bear spends most of her time sleeping and getting her tummy rubbed, with the odd break to eat some chicken.
If you’re anything like us, then you probably want to make sure that a small business aligns with your values before you give them any money. So, just to be perfectly clear, here at Lovelace and Bear we believe -
● Genocide is bad
● Free Palestine
● Trans people have always existed and always will exist
● Trans rights are human rights
● There are no ethical billionaires
● No human being is illegal
● Immigrants enrich society
● AI is bad for the planet and for humanity
