A Bundle of Artists

I've been browsing the web a lot recently and I've come to find that I have a number of arty websites building up on my desktop, so hey, why not share them all a little bit with you. It's how i'd like my work to be, and the kind of directions i'm aiming to go in.

Claire Coles

So i've had a look at Claire Coles design and although she is an interior designer I definitely think she's taken an illustrative approach to that kind of design. Usually I like more simple wallpapers but i wouldn't mind this for sure in my house! Very pretty french bordeaux type work, really reminds me of my Age UK brief, with all the curly furniture and florals!

Faye Power

Birdy, polkadots, florals, fabric, i relate to this a lot, although I think she uses a lot more digital work than me It reminds me of my totem, at the start when I was creating my creatures out of papers, fabrics, and everything I could get my hands on!

Rachael Ashe

Collage, birds, everything I love on that blog of hers! Gimme more of those collages right now! They're so neat, something I could definitely improve on?

Martha Brown

Marthas work, again reminds me of my Totem brief, because she collages, like i did initially, and also makes fabric pictures too, although hers are more flat, it's not too far away from my own work, love it!

Maid Marian

Marians work really really reminds me of my Age Uk project, the use of florals and the bright colours are the same kind of vintage style i like to use, I will subscribe to this blog for inspiration for sure!

Scrapteria

Although scrapteria is not one single person, it is an on going blog of various artists who use collage, the strictly not digital to create images. I stumbled across a lovely bird image on there, I'll keep my eyes open for more good stuff on that forum.
