Reading 1Fox postman
Reading 2Bear baker
Reading 3Rabbit gardener

An animal character isn't a motif — it stands up, wears clothes, and has a job. These nine follow a fox postman, a bear baker and a rabbit gardener, each in a small working scene, rendered in a storybook, vector and coloured-pencil style. Ask for a hedgehog instead, a firefighter job, or a nursery-wall version, and the same character logic carries it.

Frequently asked questions

What size do these print at?
Each scene is composed at a clean square-friendly crop, suited to a nursery print, a card or a sticker sheet.
Can I get a different animal or job instead?
Yes — the direction field takes an animal or occupation change, and the same working-character frame carries it.
Are these meant for a specific book or brand?
No — every character and scene is original, made fresh for this pack, not tied to any existing book or brand.
What's the difference between the three styles?
Storybook has soft painted texture, vector is flat and clean-edged, and coloured pencil keeps a hand-drawn grain and shading.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
