About Ponnopozz

Ponnopozz is the studio of Chicago-based artist Adrianne Hawthorne Thomas. Adrianne comes from a graphic design background but prefers the act of making art with her own hands. She initially felt uneasy putting so much of herself out into the world, but has since felt a satisfaction that she never found in corporate America. Ponnopozz is named after two imaginary friends, Ponno and Pozzer, that the artist had as a child. The name is a daily reminder of the unbridled creativity of childhood that she continues to nurture through the act of painting and drawing. Adrianne creates mixed media paintings that are reproduced as art prints. She also designs repeatable patterns and sells them on soft goods such as tea towels, totes and dopp kits.Read their story
