I am Asta Vilminskaite, the founder of “Kinoko & Friends,” an ideas generator and illustrator.

I invite you to set off on a journey into the world of the little mushroom Kinoko and his friends.

Perhaps here you will discover your own beloved character — one who gives you a playful wink and quietly brings a smile to your face.

My favorite drawing techniques are watercolor, pencil, and markers.

“Kinoko” is the Japanese word for mushroom, and the term can be poetically understood as “child of the tree.”
