Kristiana Parn
Illustrations by Kristiana Parn. Acrylic and pencil on wood. Just gave me a bunch of ideas for the children’s book I still want to make.
Emily Wong
It turns out Emily Wong (Ninja vs Penguin) is obsessed with hair! Whenever she’s feeling really stressed she busts out the graphite – haha I love it. The hair in this first drawing actually belongs to Ophelia Chong, small world!
Maija Luutonen
This photo by Maija Luttonen made me laugh. Maija is living and working in Helsinki and has a unique portfolio in that there is as much drawing as there is photography (I haven’t come across this combination too often). I particularlly like this little series of photos, Please let’s pretend.
Ehren Salazar
Ehren Salazar is easily one of my favourite artists, and I am extremely privileged to call him a friend. I dug up a few of his drawings and I think you will quickly see how insanely talented he is. We went to college together and I remember his portfolio was filled with hundreds of these ridiculously detailed pencil drawings – I just told him about Etsy so hopefully he puts a bunch of his work on there.
Ehren is also currently running a galleryspace called Little Mountain Studios here in Vancouver, and you can definitely expect to see us working together in the new year.
Kareena Zerefos
Some creamy illustrations by Kareena Zerefos. A designer turned illustrator, Australia’s lucky to have her. Love the colouring on this owl.
Your Face Blog
A couple months ago I wrote excitedly about Damien Weighill’s Your Face Blog. Send him a photo of yourself and he whips up an illustration of you! Well guess whose mugshot showed up on the site yesterday.
That’s me, in the pink.
Misato Suzuki
Misato Suzuki was born in Japan and now lives and works in LA. Her color palette reminds me of Seonna Hong’s work I featured here awhile ago. I was excited to learn that she often paints with coffee!
