Project 002/ Part 017, Balloon Travel — Sold out

I remember trying to make a 3D illustration box once — something like a shadow box that’s illustration based. Of course, my first foray into the medium ended up far from being perfect. In fact, it was quite the disaster. So when I saw Jayme McGowan’s fantastic three-dimensional box construction with intricate cut outs, my jaws dropped.

Project 002/ Part 007, Huge Hands — still available

The artist and illustrator working in Sacramento, California, is now working on her second series called Dreamscapes, where most of her work have already sold out, except for this.

You can read more on her blog, or keep a close watch via her Flickr stream.

Moonlight Gingkos, a limited edition woodblock print

Annie Swincinski is a part time artist, part time waitress, working on becoming a full time artist in State College PA. I’m loving her woodblock prints that are all handmade and individually pulled, with a very soothing palette. Most of her work are limited editions, and originals so no one ever receives the same print — and is part of the beauty of woodblock printing.

You can browse her shop called Sweet Annie Jeanne, and read her blog (although it has been awhile since she has posted up new entries).
