Ever looked at child-inspired art that’s well, grown up?
Take a look at Kate McCarthy’s work and you’ll see what I mean. Inspired by early childhood memory of pure shape, color and intent, Kathy’s managed to dissect the colorful (and sometimes fleeting) world of play into a 2D interpretation mixed media work with a spot of humor thrown in.
I could detect a hint of innocence in her works, and also a sense of wonder as she wields her brush – I love the playfulness that shines through!
Laurie Hastings is an Edinburgh-based illustrator, and I’m really fascinated by her use of cool colors for her work. There’s lots of blues in there, but they work beautifully for each of her commissions.
She’s collaborated with with poet David Troupes, has done book covers for Random House, magazine illustrations and also runs a small online shop, which you can find silk screen prints and other little bits and pieces such as cards, matchboxes, cotton shoppers and purses!
Loving the strong visuals behind Sarah of Dasroterabbit’s work. She’s a freelance designer since 2003 (with a Masters in Visual Communications from Danmarks Design School) who resides in Sweden. Dasroterabbit is a brand
she created that pulls together her love for graphics and arts and embraces graphic design, illustration, art direction and handmade plywood (wall hanging) artworks.
Right now in her Etsy shop there’s lots of colorful posters available that’s guaranteed to add some zing to your walls!
