Leontine May

I’ve seen a lot of bird drawings lately — heck, even I draw them — but the ones drawn by Leontine May is one of the most animated birds I’ve ever seen (well, they’re as animated as drawings can go!). I’m not sure if it’s her deftness with watercolor that adds texture to her pieces, but I’m sure loving her work. You can see her portfolio go to her Etsy shop to pick up a few prints, and read up on her blog to see what she’s up to with her husband, little girl and her two cats.

None the Less

If you’re in England Scotland (thanks Iain!), then you’d be well chuffed to know that Analogue Books is having an exhibition with Tiny Showcase entitled “None The Less: A Tiny Showcase Showcase”.

The exhibition presents a cross-section of the Tiny Showcase aesthetic that has developed over the years since their first print – an ink drawing of a small dog on a fishing line, drawn by one of the site’s co-founders while bored one afternoon at work. Straight from the TS secret archives, many out-of-print images will be featured. Editioned prints from these popular releases which had been reserved, or lost and unearthed, will be available for sale.

+ If you’re an artist who is looking for a one-of-a-kind artist residency, have a look at Elsewhere Artist Collaborative
Residency Programme

+ Have you seen Lena Corwin and Maria of port2port’s new shop?

+ And as a side note, Pikaland was featured on the list of 100 Must-See Art Blogs, thanks Kelly!
