Polish artist Gosia Herba works as an illustrator and writes children’s books and graphic novels. For those who can’t get enough of her inimitable style, Herba’s Instagram account gives a sneak peek into her current works in progress, as well as offering regular trips into her back catalogue.

Follow Herba for a daily dose of cuteness, featuring cartoon animals and weird cubist little people, all of which convey a unique, unmistakable style that looks simultaneously modern and reminiscent of early 20th-century art. The Wrocław-based artist also has a series of myth illustrations that feature the blood-drinking Greek demigoddess Empusa.
