Illustrator 'Karin van der Meij-Pracht' signs her designs under the name 'Kaartje of Kip' (Little Card or Chicken).

Why that crazy name?
Because no one calls Karin "Karin" at all. Her husband and friends call her "Kip" (Chicken)," but her family affectionately calls her "Kaartje" (Little Card). So she decided to sign her work with her two nicknames!
