Anyone hungry yet?
I’m looking at these deliciously sweet illustrations by Amaranta Martinez of Piktorama, an illustrator and designer who hails from Spain, and trying very hard not to munch on something! Grab yourself a limited edition Gocco print of these sinful goodies at her Etsy shop and see more of her work at her website.
Thoroughly enjoying the patterns and repetitive motifs done by Judy Kaufmann. She’s an illustrator and designer from Barcelona who has quite a range of styles, but of course my eye are drawn to pieces like the ones above – I can look at them for hours in trying to figure out their story (the first one is dedicated to her identical twin sister!)
Also, she has a beautiful bio:
I never was interested in economics or law, not even in art, but somewhere amongst my hundreds of notebooks, I began to draw stories of my life, that have transformed me into the girl that carries a ball-point pen in her knapsack.
Take a peek into her Etsy shop and also her portfolio for more explorations in repetition.
Summer is upon most of us and if you’d like to take this opportunity to explore and create, we’d like to invite to you join me and Jamie in Summer Camp: Movie Haus!
From set design, to costuming, framing and narrative, movies are a great source of inspiration. We don’t know how many times we’ve come out of a film recalling certain compositions, feelings or ideas we’ve wanted to share and express. Movies make you feel, so why not express those feelings with your art!
For this course, we’ll view and be inspired by 4 specific movies to create new works of art! Each week we’ll watch a different film and tackle specific themes expressed by that movie such as composition, sensations, fears and narrative devices. Not only will you get to meet new people (make new friends!) and network, but you’ll also have the opportunity to get feedback on your artwork from not only both Jamie and I, but also from your classmates as well! It’s an incredible opportunity to find out how others perceive and interpret your work.
Assignments are structured for all levels of artistic ability and anyone from all over the world can join in (you just need a computer + internet connection!) Read up more on the course, and see a complete list of new courses available that’s going to set your creativity soaring here!
Summer Camp starts 1st August, so grab a big tub of popcorn and settle into your seats!
