Great illustrations of self-tauhgt artist Montana Forbes combining simple lines with bright colors. She is influenced by "images of popular culture and all things vintage, whether fashion shoots from the seventies, or the innovative record covers from the 1980’s". www.montanaforbes.com

info@annekekrull.nl — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 03:25:41 PDT

Just discovered this incredible artist Jamie Cullen; a Brighton based illustrator who cites Pop Art and M C Escher's impossible constructions as a couple of his many influences. His work often involves layers of visual discovery with hidden elements emerging from his bright, intricate drawings. He has produced work for a selection of high profile clients including campaigns for Nike, Coke, Virgin Mobile, VW and Reebok, Rolling Stone, Wallpaper*, Billboard, IDN, Esquire, GQ and The Guardian. Love it! www.jamiecullen.net

Helsinki based Eili-Kaija makes lovely colorful work combining ink, pencil and watercolors and finishes her images digitally. "Line has always been important to me, I enjoy its curvy nature." Eili-Kaija allows her work to flow through her naturally. "I don't like to force my lines, as impression and atmosphere are too important".

Sri Lankan born designer/illustrator Nadeesha Godamunne had a lot of success in 2008 with her graduate collection ‘Trompe L’oeil’ before she continued in fashion illustration. "Through the reconsideration of line and form, Godamunne's illustrations break certain aesthetic boundaries associated with fashion illustration, in an effort to reframe perceptions of ‘ideal’ beauty". Love it! www.nadeesha-godamunne.com

Art for Water

info@annekekrull.nl — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 03:41:33 PST

I was asked to write something about this great charity auction called Art for Water. Artists from around the world are donating some of their most treasured pieces to Art for Water, a charity auction that will take place on April 26th, 2012 in central London. The goal is simple: To get water to every single person that needs it! Every artist can submit as many pieces as they like, however, there is a judging panel run by the team at Hangup pictures who have kindly agreed to monitor submissions for the most worthy pieces. Artists submit by sending a picture of their work with a bio to: artforlifeandwater@gmail.com

Another lovely fashionable character came by... Plasterdoll is a character created by Malaysia-based illustrator Jessica Wong since 2008 and is used as the “person” behind her fashion blog. Much like an alter ego, Plasterdoll is usually in designer pieces that Jessica could not possibly own. Plasterdoll is a fashionable doll and “fashion model” in the Plasterdoll-land, always spotted in latest runway trends and styles. www.plasterdoll.com

Kitty Moss

info@annekekrull.nl — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 06:44:37 PST

I see a lot of self-created characters drop by lately. Dublin-based illustrator and designer Kitty Moss made two characters Maud and Minet. Maud, is a stylish ghost and Minet is her loyal floating cat. It is both a homage and a playful satire on the fashion industry. Love it! www.maudandminet.com
