I’ve always loved beautiful handwriting. My mother has incredible handwriting. People are facinated when they see her write. She writes in script, very slowly, forming each letter perfectly. It is beautiful! When I came across this I ran out and bought myself a calligraphy pen and ink to play with this weekend. Mara Zepeda of Neither Snow has studied Copperplate and Italic calligraphy in New York. She can also be found on Etsy.
Some of my latest finds on Flickr include Tina Kazakhishvili, bic pen master m. Lewandowski, Betina, Mor.gan and Angies. My favourites here.
“As I begin a painting the subject physically, emotionally and spiritually reveals itself to me. Each brushstroke speaks to the subsequent stroke, carrying out a dialogue, linking my subject and me as if we were meeting for the first time. I find this uncertainty exciting and embrace the indecisive nature of my work.” Kris Lewis via My Modern Mix
“Currently inspired by: Byzantine iconography, Aubrey Beardsley, grizzly bears, the moon, ornate headdresses, bird nests, elaborate updos, Cyd Charisse in action (see: Dancing in the Rain).” I like it! See more of her work here.
Japanese artists Sasu & Kami paint inspiring murals around the world in fantastic geometric pattern and colour! Via Mint.
I love these layered depictions of unruly gardens by Faith Evans-Sills. I’ve been wanting to paint something around this theme for a while and these have really inspired me! About her own work she says “In each piece I am searching for a balance between spontaneity and design, beauty and decay, the decorative and the profound, the body and the soul…” You can also find her on Etsy at her shop Leaves and Feathers.
Those beautiful bookends in my previous post remind me so much of the work of another amazing artist that I love – Sylvia Ji. Amazing!
Wow! I stumbled across these over at yay!everyday and they have totally blown my mind! They are the work of talented illustrator Brian Morris.
