Julia Rothman: how to make repeat patterns
5.31.2008 |
I was click, click, clicking through the brilliant eyes of Lisa Congdon's photostream on flickr last night, and came across this photo she posted of one of her paintings hanging alongside Julia Rothman's whimsical wallpaper in someone's home. (See upper left corner of my photo collage). I fell in love with the open white shelving against the bright illustrations.
By coincidence I came across Julia's website this morning, and fate came knocking at my door for another artist inspired blog post.
Her wallpaper can be purchased through Wall Collection, which also is a customizable site where you can upload and purchase your own designs for your walls. (I'm really into pattern design these days, how exciting!)
Julia also keeps a very inspiring illustration blog that features a new art book everyday: Book by its cover.
Recently she also was a guest writer for Design Sponge, and posted a really great tutorial on how to make repeat patterns (no photoshop necessary!).
To learn more about Julia Rothman where you can also purchase her work & patterns, visit her site www.juliarothman.com.

keep in Mind: Illustrations by Irana Douer
5.27.2008 |
I first came across Irana Douer's artwork a few years ago through the live journal art community, and ever since then have been keeping her in mind.
I love how Irana's illustrations project so much emotion and feeling through her use of color, linework, and vivid smudges. She's constantly carving out new ways to express herself through experimenting in various mediums. Sharing creative projects like making clothing out of paper, and turning the characters of her illustrations into real photographs using models and colorful wigs.
I admire how she's a forward thinker, so original and intriguing!
You can see more of Irana's photography and illustrations on flickr, buy originals, and keep up with her latest projects on her website keep in mind. She also runs a monthly based online art magazine Ruby Mag

Last night I was visiting Creature comforts fabulous blog, and was really inspired by the way she's visually linked her favorite design and style blogs. I'm still over here flipping over it, it's fantastic!
Over time I've found so many wonderful artists through sites like flickr, myspace, blogger, typepad, etsy... etc. that I've been wanting to share here. So inspired by last nights clicking spree, I've decided to kick into a new category today: Blogging The Artist's way.
I'm fascinated with seeing other artist's processes, and inspirations so I'm really excited about having a visual archive of all of the new sites I'm finding.
I originally found Louise's work through flickr, whose blog Art and Ghosts and etsy shop I'm featuring today.
I'm always drawn to dreamy imagery that simultaneously has adult and childlike qualities, and a combination of dark and light emotion. They are little digital wonders, and make me want to use terms here like... image apparitions, and happy phantoms.
Her work also reminds me of a cross between two other digital artists that I really admire, Maggie Taylor and Loretta Lux.
To see more visit Louise's blog: Art and Ghosts.
