There’s something very raw about Stacey Louise Joy’s illustrations — which she does with pencils and colored pencil in between. I find them endearing because of the plot of her stories — which she also illustrates. It mostly involves a penguin, a cat, a dog, and a sausage (although not necessarily in that order).
Crayonlegs is home to Sarah and Duncan who both have their own quirky, offbeat illustration styles. (You must, must have a look at their intro animation!)
I love Sarah’s newest experimental illustrations at the literal translation of facial hair — go on, have a peek and tell me that didn’t make you snigger.
Duncan’s work ranges from strong and colorful; to muted and natural tones, but is no less interesting. My fave has got to be his subjects’ full lips.
Both of them offer prints up for sale at their shop, and they’re both based in the UK too.
By stroke(s) of luck, I seem to be finding a lot of wonderful artists and illustrators that are based in the UK, which is ace (I love how they use the word ace!)
One of them is Kit Mason, an illustrator based in Brighton, UK. He’s still studying, and has been drawing since he was 16 (and if you’re keen to know, he’s 21 now).
I don’t have much posts on today because it’s my mom’s birthday, and there’s a fair bout of eating to be done to celebrate; so I’ll catch you all tomorrow!
