My family just celebrated my mom's birthday this past weekend. In my post this week, I thought I'd share a gift I made for her many years ago. Also proof that not all of my illustrations are painted:
I'm curious if any readers of this blog have any favorite mixed-media illustrators? For me, I recommend checking out Salley Mavor. Her work is pretty amazing.
Thank you for the link to Sally's work. It is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI read this blog regularly and really appreciate the diversity of work and styles presented.
I enjoy the work of Margaret Cusack quite a bit. Her fabric illustrations are wonderful, especially given their size.
I would also humbly (very humbly!!!) point out my own efforts:):):)

This is really sweet. Is it a quilt, or a fabric illustration?
ReplyDeleteVita - it's a quilt! I'm not really a quilter so I had to fudge my sewing techniques but there's a back, and batting in between. So, it's as much a quilt as I could make it!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely, Nicole!! It's fun to see these blast-from-the-past works. In your quilt there are some sophisticated shapes--from one who understands contours and yet it's bold and graphic. Awww your lucky mom!!
ReplyDeleteMixed media illustration is so fun to look at. Nice piece, so sweet.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if this counts but, clay for illustrating: http://www.barbarareid.ca/home.html and I recently found this illustrator: http://www.jessicafortner.com/
Going farther than the page is incredible. Keep it up! Thank you for sharing :)
