Telling Stories to the Trees print

Rima Staines is a conjurer of one of the most fascinating illustration works I’ve ever seen. She weaves stories into her illustrations, and features beautiful lands of fancy and fantasy. Rima paints and draws on wood and paper; and enjoys entwining script and image closely and loves to write rhyming stories to tell her characters’ tales using forgotten words and other languages.

For the July PikaPackage, she sent in her beautifully illustrated creatures and fairytales, which you can see more of in her shop called The Hermitage.

Orchid, a limited edition digital print

Hilary Wagstaff is the artist, designer and printmaker behind Little Moshi, where her main interests are in drawing, print and collaged work both digital and the old-fashioned way. She also makes books and box art, as well as using monotype and transfer print to create images.

I love her hand-drawn illustrations that she sometimes incorporates into her mixed media pieces.

She sent in so many beautiful prints (including a handmade book) — from her illustrations to her collage pieces — that it’s almost impossible to show all of them in their glory. A visit to her shop will show you how lovely her work is, and our flickr stream will afford you more peeks.

Two Stories of Tragedy in Red – 4×6’‘ Glossy Postcard Set of 10

My pictures of Madelaine’s prints certainly don’t do her justice. Her images are breathtakingly beautiful in a wistful way, and conveys emotion like I’ve never seen. I showed one of her images to my fiance, who after looking at the image, replied with one word — tragic — which was the very name of the print. Her poignant subject matter for her images belies the fact that she is just 17 years old.

She sent in hauntingly beautiful 8” x 10” matte prints and 5” x 7” Lustre prints, and you can view her work here.
