Love these two beautiful companion prints by Amy Ruppel, entitled Carry Me There and Catches the Slightest Sound. The print is based on an early original encaustic painting of the same name using beeswax, oils, charcoal and a photographic print. Makes me all nostalgic for some reason. In a good way.



If you love folk art, then you’ll surely love Stacey Rozich’s bold folk drawings done in gouache and watercolor. Born and raised in Seattle, Washington, she studied Illustration at California College of Arts in San Francisco and is quite the whiz in simple pen and ink line drawings.
Her work evokes memories of when I used to read children’s books (Asian ones), filled with images of carved Chinese lions guarding the palace gate and other mythical beings. I love how Stacey incorporates elements from various folk stories and creates beautiful creatures from them.
