Tried to paint some of the things. I love the orange in Anna's examples, it is so deeply nostalgic. I grew up in soviet union up to 6 years old, maybe there where similar illustrations in the cartoons or books or birthday cards.

I'd love to create art that would stir viewer's feelings like that.

 

I like the mushroom. You scribble some lines and voila - you have a cute little mushroom!
