Hi, I’m Katia, the artist behind Katsuko Studios. I create cute, expressive characters that live on stickers, prints, and tiny things you’ll want to hoard.

My work is inspired by everyday feelings and quiet moments. What starts as a simple doodle usually turns into a tiny character with a full personality and emotional range.

My main characters are Frop and Blip.

Frop is a soft, slightly overwhelmed frog who’s always doing his best… even when things feel like a lot. He lives in that space between trying to stay positive and needing a nap.

Blip, on the other hand, moves through the world a little differently. He’s a bit more curious, a bit more chaotic, and tends to find himself in unexpected situations — sometimes by accident, sometimes not.

Together, they represent different sides of the same feelings: the quiet and the chaotic, the gentle and the unhinged.

Everything I create is designed to feel personal, comforting, and a little bit silly.

Thank you for being here and supporting my work. It truly means a lot.
