Finland based illustrator Vladimir Stankovic works with a variety of mediums – from watercolors, tempera, colored pencil and markers, and the results are psychedelic! What I admire is the way he mixes colors (and not to mention different mediums seamlessly!)
He has an Etsy shop, and he posts a lot of his illustrations up on Flickr.
Today’s giveaway comes from Duane Hosein is an artist and illustrator based in New York, where he spent his childhood immersed in a world of his own – mostly behind a book or drawing at the dining table. As a result, his artworks primarily reflect on nature but with an added twist; with minute and detailed line work that seems to border on the obsessive.
As a sponsor, he is giving away a fun package for ONE lucky reader, who will be able to pick out TWO prints + a postcard collection from his Etsy shop worth USD$56.50!
To be in the running, just share with us your fondest memories of childhood (or how it has affected you today) – we’ll pick out a random winner after 27th March!

Today’s post is a little different because I’m going to veer off from illustrations for awhile and instead will talk about a recent tutorial that I made for Rebecca of Big Big Big Things. Rebecca and Kitiya invited me to contribute a tutorial for them in conjunction with World Party Day and I’ve decided to send in a DIY tutorial for party invites!
I’ve weaved in some crafty elements while keeping the design clean so you can totally re-use the invitations how ever you wish! I’ve used scraps from the Good to Know zines to make the paper weave (I was inspired to come up with it after reading up on weaving when I bagged myself a vintage hand-weave loom for kids)!
Read up on the tutorial over at Big Big Big Things and you if you’re not into the whole weaving thing like I am, you can download the ready-made PDF template here so that you can print them out yourself!
