Hi there. How are you?
I’m well aware that my work appeals more to women than men. Most of my buyers are female and 85% my followers on Instagram are female. My work has a feminine look. I get it, embrace it, and design to appeal to my mostly feminine tribe.
But, my newest product was made with a man in mind.
Meet Yoshi, our 1977 Volkswagen Westfalia Bus.
Meet Yoshi
Last fall, my husband bought a 1977 Volkswagen Westfalia. Lovingly referred to as “Yoshi”, Matt has been working hard all winter and spring to rebuild the engine and restore the interior. We’re looking forward hitting the road with Yoshi in just a couple of weeks for the Dead and Company show in Deer Creek. (I know, totally hippie. I’ve got my tie-die all ready!)
Matt thought that Yoshi would make a great tea towel design.
I was happy to oblige. I mean, how cute is that bus?? How could I not draw it?
My husband modeling my new VW Bus tea towel in front of the bus that inspired it.
Introducing my VW Bus Tea Towel!
Featuring a front, side, and rear view of Yoshi, this 100% cotton tea towel was printed in an olive green ink to match our bus. I’m totally thrilled with it!
This is the first completely digital illustration I’ve ever made. I drew these all with my Apple Pencil* and iPad Pro* in the Procreate app. I am hooked on this powerful tool! You will be seeing more all digital illustration from me soon.

The VW Bus screen printed tea towel is sure to bring some personality and charm to your kitchen.
Ships free in time for Dad’s Day.
The Yoshi towel would make a great Father’s Day gift for your car lovin’ or hippie dad. Grab a Dad’s Day card, wrap up his favorite booze in the towel and you’re good to go.
Heck, anyone with a love for retro, cars, van life, hippie culture would dig this towel. I’ll certainly have a couple with me when we take Yoshi camping in the coming weeks. I’ll also lay one down on the coffee table and put snacks on top of it when we entertain this weekend.
You can shop my whole collection of tea towels right HERE. They all ship FREE in the US. ($6.00 flat rate shipping for my international friends.)
Last thing….
If you purchase a towel, I’d love to see how you use it in your home. Send me pictures!
That’s all for now.
Ciao, Jen
