PLANTS, PRINTS AND BIG HAIR.

 
Today i would like to introduce to you a lovely lady's work: Sabrina Arnault is a french illustrator based in Montreal. I really enjoy her black and white pieces, her simple and minimal lines depicting different types of women, sometimes wearing animal prints and surrounded by plants and cactuses.
P.S. you can have a look at her prints shop here.

L.A. STREETS.






I always enjoy to see somebody's impression of a city, and Chris Turnham's one is very peculiar.
He moved to L.A. form Portland three years ago, and started observing what was around him, the city and its many different neighborhoods, each one with its different architectural style and structural appearance.
What came out is a serie of 20 prints capturing as many Los Angeles distinctive spots, from villas to taco-stands: the graphic effect that characterizes every piece (it's reminding me a lot of illustrations and animated works from the 60's) is made from the layers of screenprint technique, which limits every print to maximum 6 colors. The final effect is just stunning.

WATERCOLOR CROWDS.


Today i'd like to show you a new illustration find i'm really excited about (actually i've been rotating some of these images as my desktop wallpaper for a while).
I instantly felt in love with Monica Ramos works, amazing watercolor illustrations, depicting crowded circumstances (how great is the I hate selfies piece above?) with many detailed situations, each and every one unique but always with a stunning color palette and the same distinguishable feminine style.

LET'S GO FOR A RIDE!


Amy Alice Thompson is a Canadian artist based in Ottawa and Amsterdam.
Her work has centred on re-contextualizing imagery from the 40's and 50's through mixed media. Her work explores themes of memory, childhood and the natural world through the mediums of drawing, painting and collage.
I was stunned by her pieces, expecially this serie "Road trip", which she started while living in Portland: the vintage feel and the tidy geometrical composition made me wanna have one of these hung on my walls!

NATURAL BEAUTY.


There's not many words i could use to explain the beauty of these images, they speak for themselves.
American photographer Cody Cobb shots lonely mountains where the human presence is left out: he works with natural light in a stunning way making these photographs look like extremely realistic paintings.
His landscapes have been made with a only a few key ingredients. To start shooting your own striking landscapes you'll need: a sturdy backpack, an old car, a light tent and lots of musli, a small 35mm camera.
