A brand new print and other delights

 

I have a new print in store! Its called We'll Stay Friends No Matter What Happens. Its available in both an A4 and A3 size, and is printed on super soft eco-linen stock. It is possibly one of my favourites and I can't wait to have it at the next Espionage markets. Hope you like it!

feature friday XX - Becca Stadtlander





The art of Becca Stadtlander" recalls old folk tales and eastern European illustration. I really love the quietness of her work and the honesty that her style allows her. Despite only graduating last year she is already super successful, illustrating for magazines like O (o as in Oprah!). I will definitely be keeping a close eye on this lovely lady, and so should you. Don't forget to visit her well stocked etsy shop

feature friday X - Guy-Pascal Vallez





Guy-Pascal Vallez's dreamlike images draw the viewer into their crazy, dream-like landscapes in which little characters dance on hillsides and perch upon rocks, contending large, fearful beasts. The supreme use of colour and contrast creates images rich in meaning and visual excitement. My impression of his work is that of intrigue, as I see traces of Latin American folk art as well as elements of Japanese manga/anime style illustration. I am super keen on his work and really inspired by the density and detail found in his paintings. I will definitely be keeping close tabs on this one!

keen as pie




I just discovered one of my favourite illustrators, Julianna Swaney's online shop, and I have to say I am keen as pie to get my mits on her limited edition prints! They are just too beautiful to resist. The folky style reminds me a lot of the animations I would watch in Hungary as a child, as they had that pinned-limb motion to them. The delicacy and depth of this work really warms my heart, and I can't wait for the day I start my own art collection! Lovely!
