Ingaland

About

My name is Inga Ziemele, and I’m a Latvian freelance illustrator based in London. I’m known for bold, anthropomorphic characters that have a pinch of psychedelia. Through my work I aim to bring more joy with a touch of weirdness into the world around us.

My illustrations have been featured on various creative platforms where it has been described as an “explosion of chaotic, colourful and characterful work”, however, “disturbing but in a friendly way”. I primarily work digitally, using vector illustration, 3D, and VR sculpting techniques, but I also enjoy creating physical objects through mold making, tufted rugs and other forms.

When I’m not illustrating, you’ll likely find me cycling around the city and bikepacking in the wild or putting together synthy music mixes.
