Beautiful, delicate illustrations done by Gabriella Barouch for her final project at Bezalel Academy Of Art And Design. The ones above are a selection of illustrations that accompany a compendium of limericks by Edward Lear in the Book of Nonsense. You can see the entire book over at her portfolio website.
I found pretty prints and delightful animals over at Lisa Jones’ Studio. The products in the shop come from the collaborative effort of husband and wife team, Lisa and Edward, both of whom are based in London. Their designs and illustrations veer towards 1950’s retro style while maintaining a modern edge, and can be found on stationery, cards, textiles, screen prints and more.
Liz Mamont is an illustrator based in Los Angeles, and I love, love, LOVE her quiet sense of humor! Her style seems to be rooted in the Victorian era, with illustrations that wouldn’t seem out of place in storybook classics like Jack the Ripper and Sherlock Holmes; and she adds in subtle irony and humor within her pieces. Though there’s a lot of corsets and intricate lines in her drawings, she lets loose with unexpected details – turning what could be a serious piece into something that’s whimsical, on the side of modern.
Check out her patterns for a series called The Little Red Cap (also known as Little Red Riding Hood) and you’ll certainly appreciate what I mean when you see that last pattern in there. Oh, and she also has a little side project called Cat Comics.
I rest my case.
