Ebenezer Archer Kling. For real! That’s his name. Super bad, right? Archer is from Northampton, MA and this might sound weird but to me, his style reminds me a lot of children’s book illustrator Tomie d’Paola’s art -if Tomie d’Paola and Monty Python had an art baby.
Check out Kling’s portfolio, blog, and Etsy!
(I was going to end it with a Monty Python quote but thought it might be too inappropriate!)
Loving the pretty ladies illustrated by Stephane Tartelin. He’s an illustrator based in France and is currently doing work for Elle magazine. Although his earlier works were digitally produced, I really like his current hand-drawn ones – his lines are beautiful!
His work is not only limited to the fairer sex, there’s a fair amount of quirky creatures too, which you can easily spot in some of the images above. You can buy limited edition posters and prints over in his shop too if you’re lucky — most of it is sold out!
I’ve blogged about Kelly Puissegur’s work before, but am delighted to see the latest works available in her Retrowhale shop! She’s gotten so much bolder in expressing ideas and concepts, and I love the various media she incorporates into her work.
She professes that she likes to change up her methods and the type of media she uses — right now it’s a combination of digitally rendered and hand painted images to create simple, child-like mixed media paintings. She draws pop culture inspired pieces (check out the coaster set of the Royal Tenenbaums) and is inspired by everything, especially 70’s and 80’s design, music, rap lyrics, animals, movies, oddities, outsider art and from skate and surf culture.
