The Nonsense Maker
The Nonsense Maker is a fun and whimsical illustration brand inspired by artist Emily May's adventuring alter ego, and lovingly created by a two woman team in Brunswick, Melbourne.
The pair create a playful range of greeting cards, art prints, artist tea towels, wedding stationery and gifts with a vintage story book influence.
All products are designed and printed in house on ethically sourced and recycled papers, or in Melbourne by small businesses in the local community.

Meet the Nonsense Makers
The artist: Emily May, best known by her alter ego ‘The Nonsense Maker’, lives rogue in a world ruled by imagination. By day you can spot her caffeine fuelled and roaming the inner laneways of Melbourne, by night she explored secret passageways winding to worlds only accessible in dreams.
The everything else: Sidonie Moore is a cheerful corporate misfit. Too silly for the suits, she is likely found cycling the streets with the wind in her hair and a smile on her face.
Uniting over a shared love of coffee and everything magic, Emily and Sidonie decided to pair logic with the illogical and bring a little more Nonsense to the world one illustration at a time.
