The work of Julie West is available for purchase at her online shop Sno. For sale are limited edition giclee, serigraph and gocco prints as well as stationery and tote bags. Her work has great line quality and the papers she uses to print are all gorgeous. Each gocco print, for example, is printed on its own unique sheet of paper. No two prints are alike.

I was framing a bunch of Tiny Showcase prints last night and remembered the work of Deth P. Sun. The work in general is dark yet playful with great color combinations (love that bright fuschia with the dove gray.) and reminds me of the work of Maurice Sendak.

Hugo Dalton‘s wall drawings are so beautiful that I had to post them before I started work today. (Yes, I am in…) Great line work and great use of white space. Reminds me of the continuous line drawings we had to complete in studio. Very delicate.

I normally don’t like pictures of birds (a personal phobia) but the work of Josie Morway literally blew me away. The level of detail she achieves in the feathers is truly awe inspiring. I got wind of her work from the absolutely fabulous Tiny Showcase. This week’s print will feature Ms. Morway’s painting, And the protein goes straight to my head, shown in detail above. (click the pic above to see the full painting) Watch for it!

The work of Yamauchi Kazuaki is so beautiful. Love the transparent quality of the inks and all the playful animals and people. Look for the less playful but still beautiful illustrations at the bottom of the list of work in the portfolio. The children’s fish illustrations and the literal illustrations of fish are both beautiful in their own right and shows the flexibility in style of work. Kazuaki mostly illustrates childrens’ books in Japan and oh, how I wish I could get some translated into English.

Steven Harrington‘s work has blown me away. The colors! The typography! The textures! The retro feel! I love it all. A really great portfolio.
