Welcome to Asking For Trouble

Hello! I'm Marceline Smith, an illustrator, blogger, designer and zinemaker based in Glasgow, Scotland.

As Asking For Trouble, I create a collection of handmade and printed stationery, accessories and gifts featuring my cute characters inspired by Japanese kawaii.

The current collection includes cards, notepads, badge sets, charms, bookmarks, gift wrap and calendars. I also have a range of digitally printed fabric and my designs are available on everything from mugs and iPhone cases to tshirts and rainboots! My products are available from my online shop and via my lovely stockists, worldwide.

I also write regularly about illustration, freelance life, travel, Japan and zinemaking on my blog. Have a look around and I hope you like what you see!
