I was surfing WGSN today, looking to get inspired in all things fashion when I came across an image of a colorful watercolor painting of a guy skateboarding. I fell in love with it instantly and wanted to see more. So I clicked the link to the artist, Christopher St.Leger’s website where I was treated to an entire gallery of equally awesome paintings. For the rest of the day I no longer felt inspired to design anything, but instead wanted to do nothing more than pick up a paintbrush and get creative. Sorry boss.

Christopher – thank you for the inspiration and keep up the good work!

You can check out more of his work and read his biography by visiting his website.

After taking a month off to just read and laze around my apartment like a house cat, I am back to blogging. What better way to start off my return than some fantastic artwork by Spanish Illustrator and graphic designer, Manuel Rebollo!

His artwork makes me want to break out my pencils and sketchbook, pour myself a hot cup of tea, and spend the rest of the day drawing. I think I am going to do just that too!

Have a happy Monday everyone – spend it doing something that makes you happy :)

I just the love the imaginative and playful artwork of Brazilian illustrator and graphic designer, Eduardo Recife.

‘I used to tattoo my buddies with a black ink pen. I used to draw on any kind of surface when I was bored… I believe its what I do best. Its also the best way for me to communicate the things I can’t find words for… It’s therapy, it’s a hobby, it’s a job, and it is what makes me happy.”

To see more of his fabulous artwork visit his website.

Like to sketch? Join the group – or rather join the sketchbook project! The sketchbook project is like a concert tour but with sketchbooks. Thousands of sketchbooks will be exhibited at galleries and museums as they make their way across the USA. Afterwards, your little sketchbook will find it’s way into the Brooklyn Art Library’s permanent collection, where it will be available for the public to view. How sweet is that?

You can sign up here and choose one of many themes such as ‘In flight’ and ‘The view from up here’ to help you get inspired.

Happy sketching!

Such a pretty and fun concept! This little do it yourself art project could be a fun way to add some color into your home and for very little cost. If any of you readers out there decide to paint your own driftwood (or any old hunk-o-wood such as a old door, window frame, table top, etc) send me some of your photos! I would love to share them :)
Cheers!

I find myself oddly drawn into the artwork of Australian Illustrator Kareena Zerefos. Her work is delicate, beautiful and refreshing. They take me back to childhood memories of story rhymes, coloring books and daydreaming.

‘Kareena’s work evokes a delicate balance between isolation and companionship, as well as yearning and delight in long lost moments of escape to the whimsical world of make believe.’
