ABOUT

Hi, I’m Korina Vaičikonė, an illustrator & visual artist based in Vilnius, Lithuania. I make illustrations, paintings, and prints about people, feelings, everyday life, and all the weird and wonderful things that come with being human.

A big part of my practice is about letting my inner child have a say. I’m naturally a bit of a control freak, so there’s a constant push and pull in my work between structure and play, precision and mess. Within clearly set boundaries, I give myself room to make imperfect marks, follow a feeling, and see where things go instead of always trying to get them “right”.

This tension shows up in the way I work too. Digital tools give me the control and structure that I naturally gravitate towards, while expressive linework, scribbles, and loose, gestural shading let things get a little out of hand.

My illustration work is mostly editorial, podcast, and product-related, while my personal practice gives me room to experiment with painting, printmaking & whatever else I feel like making.

Formerly known as Tiny Mischiefs, I’m still pretty much living up to the name. When I’m not drawing, I’m probably renovating(-ish) my house, crafting, overthinking something, or hanging out with my husband and our always-hungry black cat.
