I’m ending the week with Naomi Elliott – an illustrator from the UK. I love that she explores various textures with pencil, and as well, her restrained use of color adds much interest to her illustrations. She has a print series on chairs that she’d like to own up on her Etsy shop as well!
Have a great weekend folks! I’ll be busy running around as I prepare for my upcoming wedding next week, so posts might be a little scattered in between!
The first reaction I had when I started browsing “Fenómeno” in the library was: “I want to tattoo again”. I identified myself immediately when I started reading it. I saw that Maria Herreros was there. She seemed cool and happy. Behind her, some guys where mounting a small exhibition with some of the drawings from the book. I bought it and I asked at the counter “do you think she will sign the books?” and the lady said “no”. So I smoked a cigarette outside, I got my crocodile and went back home.
For Maria Herreros everyone is bizarre, some people just know how to hide better. I understand that. : )

I found out about Elliott Quince’s work when he said hello over at Twitter – and while I’m not really a Star Wars fan, I am mesmerized by the characters that he has crafted using plasticine! He’s compiled them all into a book called Pasticine Tatooine, which you can purchase here. He’s an illustrator (and animator, stuntman, children’s entertainer, astronaut, compulsive liar, and now officially stand-up comedian, according to his bio) who’s based in the UK and you can see more of his work over at his main portfolio/blog.
