Enter the delicately detailed and intricate patterned world of Russian artist, Madalina Andronic. Colourful and meticulous, the little hand drawn designs featured in all her work remind me of whimsical folk tale dreams. The first Christmas-ey reindeer is my favourite that led me to her.
Japanese artist Sagaki Keita gives a whole new meaning to seeing one thing in two different ways. His doodles of classical art pieces are whimsically made up of little cartoon like characters. Lots of them.
You have to love Marc Johns‘ work. Because of it’s simplicity, cleverness, wit, delight and obvious humour.
Reading beautiful words is one thing. Having them written as an art is another. Combine the two, and it’s the artistry of Chris Ballasiotes.
Of all the TED Talks, my favourite is Sir Ken Robinson’s enlightening talk on Changing the Paradigms of Education, illustrated and animated by the very talented artists at RSA Animate. Each illustration cleverly links to the next point with quirky and fun drawings. Here are a few random illustrations from other videos by RSA Animate.
Vesa Sammalisto is a Finnish illustrator and graphic designer based in Berlin, Germany. Loving all the structured details in his pieces.
Ooh watercolour prettyness in tiny little shapes! Doesn’t it make your Wednesday so much better? Introducing the work of Kazuko Nomoto who illustrates under the name Nomoco. She is now based in the UK.
Anneke Short is a watch and jewellery designer. Which I was a bit perplexed to find out since I figured she was either in advertising or the design world because of her sharp wit. It’s almost as if she gathered everyone’s thoughts like a fly on the wall of an agency. Raw honesty is always beautiful.
