Drawings, Art, Maps and other Curiosities

Last week, I posted about some interesting discoveries I had made online. Read that post here

This week, I have found more fascinating blogs & portfolios. Here they are:

Artists & Illustrators:

I always like to see Aniela Murphy’s illustrations pop up on Amelia’s Magazine and she has had a great blog for some time now, but it was great to see her brand new website appear the other week. There’s a fantastic selection of digital and hand-drawn work on it; well worth a look.

Another illustrator who uses hand drawn techniques to great effect in her work is June Chanpoomidole. June’s work is vividly coloured and has a strong narrative element to it, which works especially well in fashion illustration. Check out her blog here.

Dylan White is an illustrator and animator who usually draws by hand with ink pens and fineliners and colours everything in on a mac. As well as the colourful selection of work on his website he has some fantastic sketches and drawings on his blog, which make for intriguing viewing after looking at the work on his website.

Jenny Lloyd is an illustrator & print designer with a varied portfolio of beautiful and often very decorative work. She also has a great section on her website for free downloads of desktop and iphone wallpapers; take a look at it here.

Another great illustrator is Staffordshire based Stina Jones. As well as being the Art Director for Creative Elements, Stina is a freelance artist and through 2010 has been running a creative project called Daily Doodle. Stina has produced a new doodle every day this year with the aim of raising money for the charity Shelter. It’s a great idea and the doodles have been fascinating to see each day. Details »
