Brett Manning is a Chicago based artist and illustrator who works mostly in ink and colored pencils. Her work is very detailed, as you can see from her sample works above — I love that she has a certain softness in her strokes (I’m not sure if I’m making any sense here!)
You can head over to her Etsy shop for prints and originals.
Anyone who writes “I am one of those weirdos who can almost cry in front of a nice font or a well designed poster” is someone I’d really like to get to know. So please become acquainted with Montreal based illustrator and graphic designer Carolina Espinosa. Her blog showcases her remarkable process of collaging images, prints, pen, and paint. I’ve only introduced you to a few sketchbook pieces, so imagine what getting to know more of her work would be like!
Thank you so much for coming along for the Good to Know project!
As a token of appreciation, you can download the PDF copy of the zine above for free, and if you’d like to have a copy to keep, we’ll send it to you for just USD$4.00 (I’ve tried to see if I could afford to send it to everyone for free, but I don’t think that’s possible — so this price will cover the minimum shipping + misc fees!)
I would love it if you would love to participate again in the next issue! The topic for the FIFTH issue is below, and you can email me with your reply anytime before the 2nd of September:

Do you think that artists need to have degrees/qualifications from art school in order to be one? Did you study art? Does it matter?
