I am mesmerized by the work of Catia Chien, an artist based in Southern California. Her work reminds me both Tadahiro Uesugi’s beautiful atmospheres, as well as Quentin Blake’s wonderful brushstrokes. She also recently illustrated a children’s book called The Sea Serpent and Me, written by Dashka Slater.
I am loving everything in her shop too; there are limited edition art prints, lettersets, greeting cards and beautiful button packs. She’s now one of my favourite artists — just looking at her drawings is enough to make me smile.
