Hello, Philippa Rice here. I’m an artist, cartoonist, writer, author, animator, craft-person - I like making things!
I live in Nottingham with my three small children. I’m lucky to have my own work space at home. The washing machine is right outside my door. Sometimes it feels like I’m working inside a spaceship.
Using different mediums and techniques is what I love. A big one for me has been autobiographical comics. I studied Animation at University and love to animate things whenever I get a chance. I’m almost always working on some new crochet thing - I like to crochet while watching TV shows.
You can contact me via my email. Here it is: philippa[at]philippajrice.com
“Rice is immensely talented and versatile who works with sculpture and textiles and collage, and that smorgasbord of knowledge transmutes into her work”
“Once you’ve entered the world of the artist Philippa Rice, you’ll never want to leave.”
“Beyond merely creating the successful webcomic MY CARDBOARD LIFE, Philippa is a multitalented craftswoman: her blog is littered with her hand made creations and oftentimes she constructs 3D counterparts for her comics that are equally hilarious as they are gut-wrenchingly cute. Using yarn and sometimes even products from everyday life, Philippia experiments beyond the bounds of paper limitation, using different materials as means to storytelling.”
