Loving the cherub characters drawn by Miss Lotion, a Danish-born artist who is currently residing in Copenhagen. She previously schooled in graphic design, but has veered more into illustration — combining the two disciplines to create work that has been commissioned by magazines and clothing lines. I love her hand-lettering as well!
I saw Olaf Hajek’s monograph Flowerhead in a bookstore one day and fell head over heels in love with his work. His colorful work graces magazines, ad campaigns, and quite a few walls (I can imagine!). His folklore-ish style has an air usually reserved for modern contemporary art, but works very well within the commercial realm too, which makes him special. None of his work is digital — all of them were painted with acrylics on cardboard, paper or wood.
He hails from Germany and first trained as a graphic designer before discovering his love of painting — and that’s when his freelance illustration career began! See more of his work over on his portfolio website!
I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered that the artist Casey Weldon, who is behind these paintings is a dude. Why? It wasn’t just the ambiguity of his name. I feel and I understand the emotions of what his female subjects are going through because at some point in my life, I’ve felt that way too. I ignorantly assumed that only a female would understand and be able to put those emotions into a tangible painting.
I was soooo wrong. I believe I’m right however when I say Casey is an amazing artist and painter. Support him please.
