About
Hello! My name is Tommy, I'm an illustrator based in Paris.
Painted by hand in my home, each of my products attempts to tell a story or to describe a magical scenery. Inspired by nature, animals, nostalgia and fantasy, I try to infuse my illustrations with meaning and to allow the viewer to wander.
Tsoooki comes from the Hungarian word cukor, which means sugar. My great-grandmother’s mother tongue was Hungarian, and she used to greet all her grandchildren with this adorable nickname. It was also the name of my very first stuffed animal. With its sugary-sweet connection to my childhood, my grandparents, and my Hungarian heritage, I couldn’t imagine a better name for my brand. (The extra o’s? Just for fun.)
You can follow along on Instagram @tsoooki to see what I’m currently working on, behind-the-scenes moments, little everyday bits of joy and occasional cameos from my cat, Soja.
Thank you so much for being here 🌸
