Linda Olafsdottir
Posted by Amy on Friday February 3, 2012




I can almost see Iceland-based illustrator’s Linda Olafsdottir work come to life as animated shows. Her characters are a joy to look at, and there’s a certain heart-warming quality to her illustrations that I’m sure would endear those who see it between the pages of picture books.

Happy weekend everyone! We’re coming round to the last day of the Chinese New Year this weekend so I’ll be out and about meeting up with friends and watching the last lion dance of the year.
Oh, and don’t forget that Michelle Fifis’ The Sellable Sketch class is filling up quickly and Alexandra Hedberg’s self-study Art as a Business class starts next week so if you haven’t enrolled yet, this weekend would be the best time to do so!
See you all on Monday!

Lumadessa / Josh Brill
Posted by Amy on Thursday February 2, 2012




These brilliant prints by Josh Brill are selling quickly since I saw them last year! The Portland-based artist and designer who set up his label Lumadessa (which originates from the words luminous meaning ‘light’ and odyssey, meaning ‘a long eventful or adventurous journey’) focuses on limited edition art prints and design products that are almost collectibles in their own right – classic and timeless.
See more of his work over at his shop.
