illustrations by paule t.b.

2011 Calendar

Today I came across the art of Paule Trudel Bellemare during my daily browsing of the etsy shops. Her style is great and her subject matter is so-everyday-fabulous.

Paule studied traditional animation and fashion illustration and now lives and works in Montréal as an illustrator for children's books.

Wouln't you love a charming portrait of your doggy? Well, I don't have a doggy, but I'd love this one right now. With stripped shirt AND glasses :)

You can see more of Paule's work on her website or shop for these lovely prints or calendar on her etsy store. xo

art on a post-it note

John Kenn's day job is writing and directing kids' TV shows. But on his free time, this Dane likes to make 'monsterdrawings' on Post-It notes. Aren't these just darkly divine?

Kenn calls his art "a little window into a different world." He's inspired by childhood nightmares, literature and folklore. There isn't much information about him on his blog nor on the interwebs, but he gave a short interview to My Modern Met. Quite interesting...

Hope you're having a ghoulish day! xo

girl power

Love these great Amanda Visell posters. The illustrations depict girls in unconventional, kickass roles— a relief from the ubiquitous images of distressed maidens, powerless princesses and "proper" ladies.

The "Posters for Girls" are available individually or as a set of 4. A perfect gift for any girl, young or old! You can get them here. TGIF!!
