robin zingone has been drawing ever since she could hold her first crayon, so it was inevitable that she would end up in her favorite city, new york, at parsons school of design. she worked as an art director and designer in ad agencies and eventually got into illustration drawing full time for clients such as american express, new york times, target, and the mattel barbie styleguides.after 9/11 the advertising business in the states crashed, so rather than stop drawing, robin started licensing her work which finally brought her to creating fun and fabulous patterns for product. still drawing by hand and altering on the computer, robin's work can be seen on everything from stationery and papergoods to shower curtains and bath accessories.to see more of robin's work go to her website here, or keep up to date via her blog. i couldnt resist the picture of her cat sleeping on her studio desk.
