Amy and I decided to do a little blog switch-aroo today, so I get to be over here writing about my favorite illustrators, and she&#8217;s on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thejealouscurator.com\/blog\/2012\/04\/04\/blog-switch-aroo\/\">my site writing about her favorite fine artists<\/a> \u2026 fun!<\/p>\n<p>So, a little background for you. The first time Amy and I &#8220;met&#8221; (ok, we&#8217;ve never actually met in person) it was because I had sent her an illustrator&#8217;s work that I thought she might like. Of course, she had already written about them. At that moment I made it my goal to find some amazing illustrators that she had never heard of\u2026 and an online friendship was born! I have actually found a few over the years (although it&#8217;s rare!), so of course, for this little blog switch-aroo of ours, I set out to find three illustrators that have never been featured on Pikaland\u2026 and I think I might have done it!? Let me introduce you to Daniel, Denise, and Daniel:<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/4509.jpg\" class=\"image\" title=\"Daniel Egn\u00e9us\" alt=\"Daniel Egn\u00e9us\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The first Daniel in this post is Swedish-born, Milan-based artist\/illustrator <a href=\"http:\/\/www.danielegneus.com\/\">Daniel Egn\u00e9us<\/a> &#8211; sigh, so lovely\u2026 and I never thought I&#8217;d say that about a lady with a shark on her head. These illustrations are all from a series titled &#8220;Mad Hatters&#8221;, which is perfect, since I am in fact mad about them! These are just the tip of the illustrative iceberg though &#8211; you have to go and check out his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.danielegneus.com\/\">portfolio<\/a>! It is full of amazing things. Now, speaking of lovely ladies with animals on their heads, let me introduce you to Denise:<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/4510.jpg\" class=\"image\" title=\"Denise Nestor\" alt=\"Denise Nestor\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I have been jealous (in a good way, of course!) of Dublin-based designer\/illustrator <a href=\"http:\/\/treesforthewoods.blogspot.com\/\">Denise Nestor<\/a> for ages. Her work is simple, delicate, and chock full of amazing artistic talent&#8230; with just the perfect amount of bunny, yes? I love the detail she puts into the faces, and the lack of detail everywhere else. Absolutely gorgeous! Ah, and finally, the last Daniel of the day:<\/p>\n<p><img src=\"http:\/\/www.pikaland.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/4511.jpg\" class=\"image\" title=\"Daniel Lachenmeier\" alt=\"Daniel Lachenmeier\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Swiss illustrator\/designer <a href=\"http:\/\/lachenmeier.org\/latestwork.html\">Daniel Lachenmeier<\/a>.  I feel like I could just sit quietly and look at his work for a really, really, really long time. I wish I could think of a fancy, artsy sounding reason why, but the truth is I just find his work very calming. Maybe it\u2019s the muted palette, or my love of all things suburban\u2026 who knows, but if you\u2019ll please excuse me now, I\u2019ve got some serious staring to do. <\/p>\n<p>~ <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thejealouscurator.com\/\">the jealous curator<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<\/p>\n<p>Thanks so much D!
