Linzie Hunter made a big splash recently with her series of illustrated spam email subject lines. While that project was a wonderful introduction to her work, it’s just the tip of the iceberg. In addition to all of her wonderful lettering work, she’s a fantastic illustrator, just out with her first children’s book, A Small Brown Dog with a Wet Pink Nose. She’s prolific, and if you get lost looking through all of her work, perhaps one of her maps will help.

Linzie gave me license to make up something about her for this bio, so I’m going to tell you two truths and a lie*:

1) Originally from Glasgow, Scotland, Linzie Hunter started her career as a scuba-adorned summer intern for the Loch Ness Monster, bringing Nessie lattes and cheeseburgers at her underwater lair. Despite the recent rumors that haggis was an English invention, Linzie’s former boss assures us through her latest intern that it’s just tripe.

2) As impressive as her work is, Linzie is just a puppet for the true artists, Milli and Vanilli. They can’t sing, but apparently they can draw.

3) Linzie gets a regular stipend form Hormel, the manufacturers of Spam Luncheon Meat.

* HINT: the lie is that any of this is true, though she was actually originally from Glasgow.
