Amy Blackwell

Well here is an illustrator who shares a love of doodling and drawing tea cups and the like. Her name is Amy Blackwell and she is based in Nottingham where is lives, works and plays! Her favourite colour at the moment is lime green, and she likes sewing, reading and the circus. I really enjoy her brightly coloured illustrations in particular the Bunting Polaroid and this Nordic jumper which reminds me of when my Norwegian gran used to give us (make us wear) woolly jumpers for christmas. Enjoy!

Bex Glover

I really enjoyed finding the work of illustrator Bex Glover this week- and the way she combines painted watercolours, inky lines and digital textures. She is a freelance illustrator and graphic designer based in Bristol where she works under the name severn studios. Her inspiration usually comes from nature, the environment and humour and her distinctive style has been used in a variety of projects and exhibitions. I particularly liked her animal portraits especially Mildred the Surfing Sheep!

MY FRIDAY FIND

I've been meaning to be a bit more community minded on my blog, so have decided to share on Fridays about other creative people I find in and around my online wanderings- I'll call it My Friday Find. Hopefully I'll manage a weekly submission but if not it'll definitely be on a Friday! Anyways for my first FRIDAY FIND here's the work of a fellow artist I stumbled across a while back when looking at MOO mini cards. Her name is Lorrie Whittington and she has her home near Chichester on the south coast of England. She specialises in drawing, painting, fibre art and photography using both traditional and digital ways of working. I particularly like her organic looking illustrations which are inspired by the sea and nature. She works under the name of Illusio Creative and as well as selling her wares via her art shop online she also is editor of the Chichester Creative Network Magazine and part of the editorial team for UK handmade!  Enjoy...
