YES! Just do it. Just start that project you’ve been meaning to. Perhaps it’s cleaning out a corner of your place for art making, or grabbing a pencil and start making scratches in that poor abandoned sketchbook. Get to it! If you need a reminder, this image is being sold as a print by the amazing Thereza Rowe. So turn off the internet (but please come back and visit us again) and just make a start!

By the way, for all my fellow word nerds out there art is about showing up and starting to make something tangible, and the word ART is in start. Oh yeaaaa!

Isol is a children’s book illustrator based in Buenos Aires, who has illustrated for several authors such as Jorge Luján, Graciela Montes and Paul Auster.

She has quite a following, and no wonder – her deceptively simple illustrations say so much. Everything on her website is in Spanish, so if you’re not as linguistically challenged as I am, you can also peruse her blog which has a collection of posters that she illustrated. (of course, I can always count on Babelfish to help me out!)

{Thanks to Yael for the introduction into her work!}

Loving the fun illustrations of Denise Gallagher. Her work has a predominantly muted palette of green, browns and grey; with a lot of textures and fine line work. What I love most is her ability to express the many facets of her characters through the rendering of their facial expression — now that’s a skill I’d kill for! Also worth a read: her About page with one of the loveliest bios I’ve ever read.

See her BigCartel shop for prints you can purchase!
